Spread across 60 acres of beach front property, Hempstead Harbor Beach Park
offers a diverse selection of recreational opportunities. Game courts
accommodate basketball, handball/paddleball, and shuffleboard. Soccer is
also played at Hempstead Harbor. Softball may be played on the ballfield,
while volleyball and badmitton are options for play closer to the water. A
small playground is available for young children. A concession is available
in season on the weekends, or you might try heading to the space between the
sunny beachfront and the shady, woody hillside which spans over a picnic
area already equipped with tables, benches, grills and a splendid, built-in
view of the park. Although much of the space is on a first-come,
first-served basis, a reserved area is available for a fee. The Park has
several unique, special- interest areas which include a games area, an
aerodrome for radio-controlled model airplane enthusiast (for permits call
571-7460), and a fishing pier for drop line fishing. The highlight of the
Park is the beach itself. Located along Hempstead Harbor, the beach boasts
one-half mile of beach front ideal for lounging and swimming purposes. Enjoy
a stroll along the elevated and fully paved promenade, which runs the entire
length of the 2400 foot beach and connects with a fishing pier at the
northern end. The illuminated promenade is spotted with sitting areas
overlooking the harbor.
Hotel, motel, bed and breakfast, and resort accommodations are plentiful and easily accessible via Long Island's extensive network of roads and highways.

Most lodging properties are open year-round, including many business and convention hotels-major chains, as well as independent establishments. Additional lodging facilities, some of which are seasonal, include wooded cottages, country inns and beachfront resorts.
