Peconic Bay Park

Laurel’s peaceful bayside park with sandy fields, kayaks, easy access to Peconic Bay—perfect for relaxing sunsets and outdoor fun.

Tucked just over the border of Laurel, NY, Peconic Bay Park offers a tranquil retreat along Great Peconic Bay. Operated by the Mattituck Park District, this quiet bayfront spot features sandy shorelines, open fields ideal for frisbee or kite‑flying, and a kayak-and-paddleboard rack available for rent. Since swimming isn’t permitted due to lack of lifeguards or restrooms, the vibe here is focused on gentle recreation and stunning water views. The onsite kayak rack makes this a family-friendly pick for paddling across the calm bay, while the open grassy area invites cozy picnics or gentle play with wide water vistas. With easily rented equipment and mellow open space, it’s an inviting stop before or after vineyard visits.

Why Luxury Beach Getaway guests will love it: Peconic Bay Park is just a short drive from many of our curated stays, offering peaceful waterfront access without crowds. Whether paddling at sunset or lounging with a picnic by the field, it’s an ideal complement to relaxed coastal escapes.
