Beach overall scores
Smith Point Beach (New York) is located outside the Mastic Beach settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Smith Point Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"Beautiful beach with well-sized waves for having fun with the whole family. You can only swim in a restricted area but it was large enough when we were there (Mon-Tue-Wed, beg. of August). Fine sand, fresh and clean water, some food offers (lobster roll is recommended!). We came after 5:30 p.m. when parking is for free (18$ during daytime) to enjoy the evening sunlight."

"I was at Smith Point Beach on 3/18/2023 to fly my drone in the parking lot. The attached video and pics are from that day. In the summer time I love this beach, they’ve spent some money making improvements, adding a beach bar/restaurant, and you can also visit the TWA Flight 800 memorial which is there too. Highly recommend."
