I passed a few fields to get to Field 6, thinking it would be less crowded further in. FAIL! Very crowded on a late Sunday afternoon made me think it must’ve been unbearable earlier in the day. Apparently the Field 6 parking lot is closer to the beach than others so it’s very popular with families and lazy people. Personally, I go to the beach to chill — not to constantly shield my face and belongings from unrulies running wild and kicking up sand. Not a horrible experience but not a memorable one either.

When you park your car, you are closer to the actual beach at Field 6 than at any other field. Definitely a plus, especially if you have kids or a big cooler in tow. However…everybody in LI and the surrounding NY area knows that! So you better come here early(and no, 10AM isn’t «early» in this case) or late(after 3PM or so) if you want to get in. The waves are pretty strong here, and the water has lots of seaweed in it. And then there’s all the sand that gets on your skin and into your swimwear. So if any of that bothers you, Field 6 is not for you. Well, the beach is not for you, in general, if you are going to be bothered by that. But if you have kids, just keep a good eye on them when they are by the water, because the water isn’t very clear. This field is FAR less crowded than Field 4, though; as a parent, this is the first field I try for when I go to Jones Beach.

If you come for a visit, make sure you park in Field 6 because its a popular spot for many beach goers. The beach is so clean except for the bird droppings but what can you do. The ocean is so refreshing. Only have to pay 10 bucks at the toll for parking! Definitely my go-to beach spot especially on a hot day!

Jones Beach is a source of many great memories for me, my family, and my friends. Definitely the cleanest beach in the immediate area(besides perhaps Robert Moses) and the smoothest sand. Field 6 is the best field at Jones Beach, which is apparent with how quickly the closest lots fill up. Don’t worry, Field 4 also provides access! Get there relatively early and grab a nice spot by the water. The boardwalk also has a small outpost of Smorgasburg there, serving up fries, alcoholic slushies, juice, and tacos. FYI — $ 10 vehicle use fee.

Growing up with Jones Beach as your«home» beach you go through phases. Maybe as a kid you came to field 6. You loved walking down the boardwalk to the crowded area. Or sometimes you would go to field 5, and hang out in Zach’s Bay. As a teen and through college, you realize that the crowded area is accessible via field 4. So once you start driving, you prefer field 4. Plus by the time you get to the beach, well the field 6 lot is full. Now you are married and perhaps with a kid on the way. Well all of a sudden field 6 is back in your life. Its quiet enough. Parking is closer to the actual beach. So no need to drag all the beach toys through that long tunnel. And you get there earlier because well the kid needs a nap around 2. I’m guessing I’ll be at field 6 until my daughter begs me to park at field 4 because her friends are there. You have everything you need here. Towels, chairs, restrooms and showers. They’ve added this long carpeted walkway towards the beach. Its a nice touch. The sand is clean and well the water is there too. Plus Jones Beach is a state park so its usually cheaper to go here than a town’s beach.

Not bad at all. I haven’t been here for about ten years. We stayed towards the right side of field 6. Less people. The sand is quite clean with a few straws and clam shells sticking out of the sand. This is a convenient location because the restrooms and food area are within a comfortable walking distance from the ocean.
