Need a Hand?

Jones Beach and Robert Moses have a deal with the Long Island Railroad–train to the nearest station then a bus. But no town–just a beach with fast food stand. Jones Beach has a boardwalk–no rides like Coney Island but pools, miniature golf, archery, stuff like that.
Block Island??? Not sure how you get there.
And don’t even think about the douchebag capital of the east…Fire Island.

Biffers – The bulding is separate from the Marriott – there’s some kind of walkway between the two. I meant to indicate that it’s not part of the hotel.
Rob;
If you’re interested in a nice beach without riff-raff of various types (rich and non-rich) and are not interested in some type of “scene”, I would really recommend Point Pleasant Beach in New Jersey. It is a private beach owned by the Jenkinson (sp?) family and they charge a fee of about $10 for admission to it. It lives up to its name: Pleasant. You can get there by NJ transit.
$40!!!!!!!?!??!?!?!?!?!?! please tell me that is roundtrip.

Robert Moses is pretty but nothing there (no town, just a beach, cafe, dunes and a lighthouse). Think it would be complicated to get there without a car.
I went there a couple of years ago when the family was over. We accidentally happened across one isolated section of the beach full of aging nudists!
you can come upstate and swim in our lake. no upper middle class people here.
rob, ferry to sandy hook is fun, $40. Takes about 35 minutes or so.
