Coreys Creek Park

Hah certainly not a five star beach, sorta filthy water with all the boats coming out of the nearby inlet… My friend was robbed at gunpoint a few years back in the marina parking lot… JTs could be cooler and better than it is, the parking situation is awful… Shall I go on?
It’s an okay spot.

One of my favorite places to relax and watch Fire Island from afar. (After the seasonal non-​local visitors are gone of course)

I award this beach the full five stars because it’s my favorite thing… FREE. Having come from Nassau County where your only choices of beach are mostly Long Beach, Jones Beach, and TOBAY, which all cost money, i am discovering many free beaches around suffolk where ive moved to. This beach corey, was nice, relaxing and had a comfort station. Just park in the neighborhood to avoid the parking lot fee.

My husband and I were out on Long Island this past weekend babysitting our 2 and half year old niece. We decided that we’d be adventurous and take her to the beach on Friday (with the help of my MIL). This is a great beach for kids! Corey Beach is located in the Great South Bay (more specifically in Patchogue Bay). There are some pros and cons about it being on the bay.
Pros
1. The water is incredibly calm.
2. The water is much warmer than in the ocean.
3. There is a playground for the kiddies.
4. There is a shop selling food.
5. There are restrooms (no changing tables though).
Cons
1. There is massive amounts of seaweed in the water.
2. The ocean floor has tons of rocks and shells, so it’s pretty harsh on your feet when you get into the water. My suggestion, wear aqua socks. I will make sure to bring mine next time.
3. No changing tables in the restrooms.
Parking, parking, parking! There is a parking lot. It costs $ 5 for Brookhaven residents. All others are $ 20! We were about to park in the lot, but our only Brookhaven resident was a 2.5 year old with no ID, so we pulled out. We had to drive around the neighborhood for about 10 minutes or so, but then I spotted someone getting into a car, so we nabbed the spot. I’d much rather circle for 10 minutes than pay $ 20 to park 10 feet closer.
We definitely will be taking our niece here again, she absolutely loves this beach!

Beach
Great little beach over in Blue Point that the GF showed me at lunch one day– naturally, she waited until the end of the summer, but from here on in, I will pop by here to take my usual nooner nap.
Clean and good sized beach area with a bunch of activity sets for the little beasties to keep them out of moms hair for a little while.
Nice views of the bay and fire island and pretty much off the beaten path so more or less just the locals will be there.
Parking here and there

This place is pretty cool, I come sit in the parking lot to look out at the water during my lunch breaks at work, it gives me a chance to sit in the sun and unwind for a bit.

Yes, I am partial to any place that shares my name (even if they spell it wrong:)). I came across Corey Beach while exploring in Long Island. It’s a great little park/​beach area where you can BBQ, boat, swim, etc… You have to pay for parking but it seems the beach access is free. The beach was packed with locals and everyone was having a great time. I can’t wait to visit again. Next time I will definitely try out Flo’s Diner, on the corner.
