Cedar Beach

Cedar Beach is a coastal area in Mount Sinai featuring two separate sections with sandy shores along Long Island Sound. Each section offers its own character and facilities, making them distinct destinations within the beach complex.

The area developed as a natural coastal zone and later transformed into a recreation and education destination. Over time, environmental education initiatives became central to the site's purpose and management.

The beach serves as a gathering place where locals connect with the coastal environment and learn about marine habitats. Visitors encounter interpretive signage throughout the area that explains the diversity of plants and animals found along the shore.

The beach features a boardwalk for easy walking and is accessible by car via local roads. Regular programs and tours are offered, so checking ahead helps you plan your visit timing.

An elevated boardwalk crosses the dune system, protecting fragile vegetation underneath while allowing visitors to explore. This design lets people walk through the landscape without damaging the natural features.
