Fire Island National Seashore - Escape from New York! This barrier island along Long Island's southern coast features exquisite (and quiet) beaches.

Connetquot River State Park - Spring-fed river in a pristine environment just a hop from the Big Apple.

Caleb Smith State Park - A fascinating old farm along the Nissequogue River near Smithtown, Long Island, that's been reverting to nature since the 1880s, supporting a wide variety of wildlife.
