Crab Meadow Beach

Crab Meadow Beach is a public sand beach in Fort Salonga with noticeable sandbars that create shallow water areas during low tide. The shoreline runs along the Long Island Sound and provides spaces for swimming and wading in different depths.

The beach developed as a recreation area for Long Island residents and became a favored spot for water activities over generations. Its coastal location helped establish a community around this area.

Local families gather here to spend time together, creating a social hub where the waterfront setting shapes how people enjoy their leisure. The beach serves as a natural meeting place where residents connect with the water and each other.

The beach is openly accessible during the day but can get busy during summer weekends, especially in the afternoon. Arriving early helps secure better parking and enjoy quieter hours.

Natural tidal pools form during low tide where visitors can spot small sea creatures like starfish and crabs. These shallow pools give children a safe way to explore marine life.
