9 Beaches On Long Island To Check Out Before Summer Ends
Discover Long Island

Before summer comes to a close, there is still plenty of nice weather in the forecast and plenty of beaches to visit on Long Island. While everyone’s go-to may be Jones Beach or Robert Moses State Park, there are tons of other beaches to spend the day at that won’t disappoint.

1. Long Beach

Long Beach has a 2.2 mile-long boardwalk; perfect for renting or bringing bikes, or just taking a stroll. After spending the day there, you can go to Diner By the Sea, the diner with the colorful milkshakes that populate your Instagram every summer.

2. Nickerson Beach

Other than the beautiful beach, itself, Nickerson Beach has a skate park, pools, mini golf and cabanas for beach-goers to enjoy.

3. Main Beach

Main Beach in East Hampton has perfect white sand, is the best spot to find celebrities and often makes the list of best beaches in America.

4. Coopers Beach

Coopers Beach in Southampton was actually voted as the best beach in America in 2010, according to “Dr. Beach’s.”

5. Fire Island

All beaches in Fire Island are ideal for people who like the party scene and warm water. The best part of spending the day at Fire Island may not even be the beach itself; the ferry, boardwalk and lighthouse are exciting for those who have never visited.

6. Montauk

Beaches in Mountauk, such as Hither Hills State Park, are great to spend the day at after taking the drive all the way out east.

7. Point Lookout

Town Park at Point Lookout may not have as many additional things to do as the other beaches on the list, but it’s the perfect place to just relax for the day.

8. Tobay Beach

Tobay Beach, though expensive for non-residents, offers a clean beach, a water park for kids and great food.

9. Shelter Island

Shelter Island made Travel and Leisure magazine’s list of best laid-back beach towns in the Northeast. Shelter Island, located between both forks, offers great beaches, beautiful scenery and “rustic charm”, according to the magazine.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
