Orient Beach State Park, State park and National Natural Landmark on Long Island, New York.
Orient Beach State Park spans 363 acres along Gardiner's Bay, featuring 45,000 feet of waterfront with maritime forests, sandy beaches, and tidal wetlands.
The park establishment in October 1929 marked New York State's commitment to preserve natural coastal environments for public recreational access and environmental protection.
The park serves as an Audubon Important Bird Area, providing critical habitats for Great Blue Herons, Egrets, Black Crowned Night Herons, and Osprey.
Visitors can access swimming areas, nature trails, picnic facilities, and a rental pavilion that accommodates 120 people from sunrise to sunset throughout the year.
The maritime forest contains an unexpected combination of red cedar, black-jack oak trees, and prickly-pear cactus, representing distinct ecological succession patterns.
