Foster Memorial Beach

BEAUTIFUL BEACH!!! VERY calm very peaceful...super clean...it was worth the 2 hr drive and the $40 parking... the only reason why i dont give it full 5 stars its bc its very shelly wayyyyy to many shells so make sure u take watershoes but otherwise BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Quite a nice beach in the bay with lots of seashells of all kinds piled up along the shoreline. Plenty of parking spaces and very useful restrooms (closed during the winter season). Beautiful seaweeds that look like spaghetti. Good place for a short walk.

Stopped by this beach in late September, very calm and enticing water. Would be worth to return in summer for a daily beach permit.

This place was so much fun! Very calm waters. Great for kayak and paddle board beginners! The beach has tons of shells!

Most people prefer the ocean beaches but with the Atlantic cold until August this beach is a very good option to enjoy a swim without turning into an ice cube. Can be busy in summer but the beach is so wide that it never feels crowded. Great sunsets!

Foster Memorial Beach, also known as Long Beach, is a serene and inviting spot in Sag Harbor that offers a more relaxed alternative to the oceanfront beaches of the Hamptons. Stretching along the calm waters of Noyac Bay, it’s perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying a quiet walk by the shore. The shallow waters make it especially family-friendly, and the sunsets here are absolutely spectacular, painting the sky with warm colors over the bay. The beach is clean, well-kept, and has a peaceful, local atmosphere without the heavy crowds found at bigger destinations. Parking is available, though a permit is typically required during peak season. Whether you’re looking to spend the day on the water, have a picnic with friends, or just unwind with a beautiful view, Foster Memorial Beach is a hidden gem that captures the laid-back charm of the Hamptons.

Favorite spot for a sunset and a nice walk by the water. Can often watch wind surfers etc flying across the water and doing jumps. Lots of fun to watch.
