After a string of cloudy, rainy days, the sun has finally made an appearance. Many Long Islanders will be trekking to the beach for the first time this season.
What do you think is the best beach on Long Island? Do you travel the extra miles out to the Hamptons, or head right over to Jones Beach? Do you take the family to Lido or grab your surf board and head to Long Beach? What do you look for in a beach? Good waves? Water quality? Kid-friendly crowd? Tiki Bar?
Leave a comment and let us know what local beach you'll be posting up at this summer and why.
