Shirley Beach - Shirley, New York

Sehr schöner Strand und tolle Gegend. Was auffällt ist das es touristisch wenig erschlossen ist, mit den Nachteilen dass man nicht so ohne weiteres ein Restaurant, eine Toilette oder einen Supermarkt findet. Auch Postkasten und Souvenirs, mal ein eis oder sonstige kulturelle Aktivitäten sind hier nicht wirklich zu finden. Wer aber so wie wir gerade aus Manhattan kommt weiß das ja vielleicht auch gerade zu schätzen

Shirley Beach at night, especially under the full moon, offers an enchanting experience. The gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore complements the soft silver glow of moonlight reflecting off the water. The beach takes on a serene, almost mystical atmosphere, perfect for a peaceful stroll or quiet reflection. The open sky, free from city lights, showcases the moon in its full brilliance, casting long shadows on the sand and making the beach look almost ethereal. It's an ideal spot for couples, photographers, or anyone looking to enjoy the tranquil beauty of nature under the night sky. Whether you're sitting by the water or walking along the shoreline, the full moon at Shirley Beach provides a truly magical experience that feels both calming and captivating.

Lovely beach & play area for children. I’ve met some unsavory folks on the beach including being flashed so just be safe on the beach as a single woman or someone with kids. But I’m more bothered by the need to lock the bathrooms & parking lot up. I see very little reason to withhold or deny access to a parking lot or public restroom. Beautiful place to collect shells & run our dogs though.

Best little beach to unwind and relax. It's peaceful, and the sunsets are always beautiful.

Go for the sprinkler park for sure but just know the beach is disgusting (tons of rotting seaweed and nasty swan poops), playground non existent except swings but there's a pretty cool sprinkler park. Small but fun and free. Bathroom is open seasonally only. Unlike some sprinkler parks there is nobody there check if you belong to this Township. Anyone can park and enjoy the sprinkler park or the beach. Just be aware if you come that you should probably bring some folding chairs because there are only two picnic tables available. Also it is open to the street and not fully gated so keep an eye on younger children. Nice view of bay and lots of swans though.

Always relax here. Nice little community beach park at the end of parkview drive in shirley. The park is really on grandview drive and is normally accessible most times being all year round. It is closed with the gates and locks on most late evenings, they're pretty consistent with this throughout the years.

While here, you can relax in your car looking at the subtle sea waves coming in while sniffing in that fresh sea breeze. Or, you can stand outside, walk along the short beach line and feel the sand in your toes a bit or pass the time with your child at the lovely play and garden area right next in the same compound.

The playground is also equipt with a water park theme and capabilities, be sure to go when it gets hot.

This is turning into an extremely bad location and potentially dangerous too. Those in the water, at the playground area, or on the beach are likely safe, but the parking lot is turning into a medium to high risk experience. Our latest encounter involved a couple that appeared to be junkies shooting up in the parking lot. The woman opened her car door and slinked onto the ground passing out against the running board and open passenger door. When they finally came to, he sent her out to find sugar packs from anyone that would listen. If you don't know why a junkie would be craiving sugar packs, go look it up. The police had been called earlier, but we were told their response was that as long as these two weren't going to drive, that they were fine where they were. The kayak launch area is poorly maintained, even after repeated requests to park staff. At this point it's just a matter of time before somebody accidentally falls off and hurts themselves.

I went today with my dog just to watch the waves and show her the swans etc. I had to hold my dog. The parking lot its disgusting and you can imagine the rest of our experience. Glass everywhere beer bottles etc.
