Wading River Beach

A peaceful North Shore gem—perfect for sunset strolls, swimming, and beachcombing just minutes from charming village life.

Tucked along the North Shore, Wading River Beach is a beloved spot for its calm waters, dramatic skies, and laid-back charm. This quiet stretch is ideal for leisurely swims, beachcombing with kids, or simply soaking in a glass of North Fork rosé as the sun dips into the Sound. With its mix of sand, stone, and dune grass, it captures that quintessential Long Island beach energy—natural, relaxed, and always restorative.

Located at the north end of Creek Road, this beach is just minutes from some of our most sought-after vacation homes. Whether you’re planning morning yoga by the waves or sunset cocktails on your deck, it’s the kind of peaceful, no-hassle beach access that defines a true getaway.
