West Meadow Beach Historic District, Protected coastal district in Stony Brook, United States.
West Meadow Beach extends for 1.5 miles along Long Island Sound, featuring tidal salt marshes and a wildlife reserve for protected bird species.
The district contained 120 summer cottages built in the 1920s and 1930s, with most structures removed by 2004 following a 1979 state court ruling.
The Gamecock Cottage from 1876 remains as a preserved example of Victorian architecture within the district, currently under restoration efforts.
The Joel L. Lefkowitz Park offers free parking for Brookhaven residents and includes educational programs at the main pavilion throughout the year.
Local students contribute to wildlife conservation by constructing chimney swift towers and bat houses, creating nesting areas for native species.
