Short Beach, Coastal recreation area in Queens, United States
Short Beach extends along the northern shore of Jones Beach Island, facing South Oyster Bay with sandy stretches and natural vegetation.
The United States Life-Saving Service established a coastal station at Short Beach in 1851, which later transferred to United States Coast Guard operations.
The beach serves as a gathering place for local communities throughout summer months, with organized activities and maritime safety programs.
Visitors can access restrooms, picnic areas, and parking facilities, while lifeguards monitor swimming areas during peak summer season.
The Coast Guard facility at Short Beach conducts 500 search and rescue missions annually, ranking among the First District's most active stations.
