This exquisite beach located on the North Fork is undoubtedly one of the most delightful places I have ever been to. The crystal-clear water has a striking resemblance to the magnificent oceans of Greece, evoking a sense of nostalgia and tranquility. Although the beach is a bit rocky, the breathtaking sunsets make up for it, leaving one in awe of nature's beauty.

I'm not really fond of North shore beaches as they tend to be quite rocky and walking barefoot can be quite painful. However, if you have appropriate footwear, it's not too bad. The water is calm with no waves, making it perfect for kayaking or taking a relaxing swim.

8 Very good

The water at this beach is surprisingly warm and crystal clear, a true delight for any beachgoer. However, it was disheartening to witness the abundance of plastic pollution and debris scattered along the shore. The beach itself is composed of eroded pebbles, making it necessary to wear shoes for comfort.

4 Frustrating

This shoreline boasts unparalleled beauty, yet regrettably, it is exclusive to local residents. I had eagerly made the journey from my home in Queens to bask in the seaside scenery, only to be halted by a police vehicle patrolling the parking lot, scrutinizing non-resident vehicles. The area is clearly under surveillance, and I cannot fathom why such a magnificent beach would be restricted to a select few. How I wish I had known of this limitation prior to embarking on my journey. Save yourself the trouble and seek out a beach more accessible to all.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Truman's Beach (New York) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Truman's Beach (New York) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Truman's Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
