Local moves

·

Arrive before 10 AM on summer weekends -- Fields 2 and 4 regularly fill to capacity by late morning.

·

The state park fee is $10/car for all fields. Empire Passport holders park free -- worth it if you visit state parks more than twice a season.

·

West End 2 is the insider move for uncrowded beach and easier parking. The sand is identical; the crowds are not.

·

Call the park line before driving out: (631) 785-1600. They announce lot closures when fields hit capacity.
