Sandy Island Beach State Park

Sandy Island Beach State Park is a New York State park on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario. Its highlight is a 1,500-foot natural sandy beach. The park is near the southern end of a notable 17-mile length of sandy shoreline, coastal dunes, and wetlands; a 1959 study noted that "The eastern end of Lake Ontario contains not only the finest beaches on the entire lake but also the finest wildlife habitat."
