Summer on Long Island is the best thing since sliced bread, let's be real. Here are the top eight beaches on the always beautiful Long Island, in no particular order.

1. Robert Moses

Close to Jones Beach without the Jones Beach masses, the water is definitely nice and the waves serve a really fun time. It can get pretty crowded, but if you find a good spot, this beach will definitely not disappoint.

2. Cupsougue Beach

Located on the South Shore of Long Island, specifically the very well known Hamptons, the waves are big and entertaining. The sand is soft and the snack bar is fire. This beach can also can get very packed on the weekends so get there early for a good spot or going during the week. Plus, the drive down Dune Road is always a sight to see, lined with dreamy homes.

3. Davis Park, Fire Island

Fire Island is one of the prettiest places on Long Island. Davis Park is the place you get off of when you take the ferry from Bay Shore, it's a cute little town with sidewalks for roads and quaint little shops. The beach is also the perfect mix between overly crowded and deserted.

4. Breakwater Beach

A town favorite in Mattituck, Breakwater Beach never gets too crowded. The water is usually calm and pretty clear, but always refreshing. This pebbly beach is a hidden gem.

5. Tiana Beach

Also located in the Hamptons area, this beach usually serves as the overflow beach when Cupsogue gets filled up. However, don't count this one out. It's still beautiful in its own right.

6. 67 Steps Beach

Located in Greenport, 67 Steps will not disappoint. A change up from the typical sandy beach, 67 Steps is sandy but with some more pebbles. It gets its name from the steps you need to walk down to get to the beach, and you guessed it-- there are 67! It's a breakaway from the crowded beaches elsewhere on the island and the big rocks give a nice place to sit and calmly watch the waves while sun bathing.

7. Tobay Beach

Located in the Town of Oyster Bay, Tobay is a breakaway from the typical Jones Beach scene. Although it can get crowded, never quite as crowded, it's a nice change of scenery. It offers sand for miles and water that has waves, but nothing too intimidating like some other beaches on the island. A great option when trying to change up your beach day.

8. Montauk

How could you forget the famous lighthouse? You obviously can't. It's the end of Long Island. When you get there, you literally can't drive anymore, so why not just go?

Visit them all or visit only one, but whichever you go to, you won't be disappointed.
