Camping, Bird Watching, Rowing and More Available at the County Park


Suffolk County's vast number of parks can be found across the county, with a variety of amenities, activities and views available to residents.

Cedar Point County Park in East Hampton offers an especially wide range of activities and features, including:
Bird Watching, Camping, Fishing, Hiking, Hunting, Outer Beach Access, Picnicking, Playground, Rowboat Rentals and Scuba Diving

The 607 acre Cedar Point, with commanding views of Gardiner's Bay, offers individual and organized group camping areas. Picnic areas, boat rentals, nature trails, vehicular access to the outer beach (with permit only), licensed hunting for waterfowl (in season), surfcasting for bass and bluefish. Settled in 1651, Cedar Point was once a busy port for shipping farm goods, fish, and timber from Sag Harbor. The historic Cedar Point Lighthouse stood on an island 200 yards from shore when it was built in 1860. Its beacon served to guide whaling ships in and out of Sag Harbor during its heyday as a major port. The hurricane of 1938 transformed the shoreline, shifting sands to create a narrow walkable strip that now connects the lighthouse with the mainland.
