Close to the sea yet protected from the waves, Great South Bay is a great place to sit in contemplation and appreciate the marine plants and animals.
Great South Bay is free to visit, so you can have a great time in Suffolk County without reaching for your wallet. Once you've finished at this area of shallow water, head to some of the area's other attractions. Ocean Beach, Bay Shore Manor Park and Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park are our top picks.
