Hi All,
If you haven't visited the Farmingdale Patch website, you should. It is a hyper local news website that cover the comings and goings-on in and around the local Farmingdale area.
Click on this link to go to the main page of the site.
So, what else does the site offer? It has a big news section and other sections on topics like events, a directory section, a commuting section and a Pics and Clips section.
The part of the section that jazzed me was the 2012 Long Island Beach Guide. Click on this link to go to the beach guide.
The 2012 LI Beach Guide is divided geographically. That is, there are sections for the South Shore - Nassau County, Western Suffolk County, The Hamptons, North Shore - Nassau County, Western Suffolk County, and the North Fork. Each section has a 4-5 sentence summary for the beach that is being discussed. Very interesting information is included in each summary. Beach highlights are notable aspects are discussed in varying amounts of detail.
I would be remiss if I didn't include a link from two other sites: Newsday and the New York State Department of Parks and Recreation. Click here for a the super-comprehensive summary from Newsday about Long Island beaches. Wow - the site is easy to navigate and is colorful to look at.
Finally, click on this link from the NYS Parks site portion of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, & Historic Preservation. You can find even more information about parks, beaches and more on the site.
Now - if only the weather would cooperate and it would turn sunny and warm from now until, say, October 31st. :) Enjoy the sites and the beaches and the parks this summer.
Regards,
Stu
