Enjoy These Spring Family Fun Attractions On Long Island
Warm weather and longer days are finally here, and our real estate agents are eager to get out of the house and enjoy fun activities with friends and family this spring. There are so many things to do around Long Island, and it seems like there is never enough time to enjoy all of the wonderful parks and museums around our communities. If you're looking for help prioritizing your springtime activities, we pulled together a list of our top recommendations:
- Fire Island Lighthouse - Field 5, Robert Moses State Park
What was once an important landmark for ships coming into New York Harbor, Fire Island Lighthouse sits on a barrier island that is now a park and museum with trails, oceanfront views, and plenty of history. The museum is open daily from 10 am to 4 pm, and the tower is also available for tours throughout the week. The gorgeous scenery provides many photo opportunities. The lighthouse is just a short walk from Robert Moses State Park Field 5. - Jones Beach - 1 Ocean Pkwy, Wantagh, NY 11793
Widely considered one of Long Island's best seashores, Jones Beach hosts concerts, boardwalk activities, and tons of fun in the sun all spring and summer. The park has over 7 miles of ocean-front beach, two pools, and an abundance of free activities, so it's one of the best places to take the kids. There are also plenty of restaurants and shops to explore.
