User reviews
"The beach is a mediocre place to spend your day. The sunset is nothing special and a walk along the path is nothing more than a waste of time. The beach is not busy because there is nothing worth seeing. The wetland is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests, making it a terrible spot for bird watching."
Jenna Rivers
"The beach was an absolute marvel, with stunning vistas of the setting sun that took our breath away. The water was tranquil and serene, and the restrooms were impeccably clean. We were thrilled to discover a playground for the little ones, and the best part was that the beach wasn't overcrowded, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of the surroundings..."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
West Meadow Beach (New York) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all West Meadow Beach (New York) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the West Meadow Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
