7/00

This ocean front state park off the southern shore of Long Island has three active beaches, fields 2,3 & 5. Topfree sunning and is allowed at all three. There are few women taking advantage at fields 2 & 3, mostly at the fringes. Several dozen women, still the great minority, may be found topfree at field 5. They are usually scattered about the eastern end of the beach, but can be anywhere. There seems to be a greater comfort level at the eastern end because it abuts "lighthouse beach", a clothing optional area. I have walked all these and even the nearby town beaches of Kismet, Saltaire, and Robins Rest without hassle. It is a long drive from the Albany area, but worth it.
