Captree State Park

Situated at the eastern tip of Jones Beach Island, Captree State Park extends across 340 acres of coastal land between Great South Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

The park, established in 1954 as part of New York's conservation initiatives, has provided continuous public access to maritime activities and coastal recreation for generations.

The park maintains Long Island's largest public fishing fleet, with 24 to 28 independently owned charter boats offering regular expeditions into surrounding waters.

Visitors can access extensive facilities including a marina, boat launch ramps, fishing piers, picnic areas, playgrounds, and a waterfront restaurant throughout the year.

The annual Fall Harvest and Seafood Festival celebrates local marine life, offering fresh catches, educational demonstrations, and traditional fishing techniques to attendees.
