Latest reviews on Southold's beaches

Southold Founders Beach
2 Lila Monroe

Today was not a pleasant experience. The beach was littered with garbage, there were too many cars parked on the road, and there were rude people around. To top it off, kids threw a ball at my car and hit the back window. It was a terrible experience at my local beach, which was overcrowded and dirty. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

Wades Beach
2 Rafiq al-Farouq.

Upon arriving at Shelter Island, I was unfortunately stopped by the police who were checking vehicles. While I waited for my little errand to be completed, I decided to take a stroll along the beach. Despite the beautiful scenery and peaceful atmosphere, my experience was soured by receiving a $100 ticket. It's disheartening to see how the natural beauty of the beaches are being exploited for monetary gain. Perhaps implementing a payment system for visitors would be a fair compromise, but it seems as though the authorities are not concerned with the well-being of their guests.

McCabes Beach
8 Selin Yılmaz.

This secluded paradise is a true treasure. I relish my solitary moments here, lost in thought and contemplation, or bask in the company of my loved ones while we revel in the breathtaking vistas.

New Suffolk Beach
10 Lena Marconi

The North Fork beach is one of my favorite spots! However, it's important to note that you need a resident sticker to park there. 🧜‍♀️✨🏖️

North Fork Beach
8 Lorenzo Santino

This serene beach boasts vigilant lifeguards and well-maintained restrooms in close proximity. However, the beach terrain is slightly uneven with scattered rocks, making it a tad challenging to walk barefoot. It's advisable to wear flip flops or water sandals to ensure a comfortable stroll along the shore.
