4x4 Outer Beach at Smith Point County Park
What creators say
-
“smith point's outer beach is the 4x4 access point that the serious off-road fishing community in suffolk county treats as home base — a permit-required beach zone where jeep wranglers, trucks, and overlanders set up for full days of striper fishing, surf casting, and just existing at the edge of fire island with nobody around. reviewers describe it as 'peace can't be beat' and 'a hiding gem' that their jeep makes feel personal — you can have an entire section of the beach to yourself in the off-season. the 4x4 permit is required to pass the county checkpoint, the beach gets closed for piping plovers in peak summer months (which actually makes the shoulder seasons even better), and the annual green key resident permit at $30 is a steal for unlimited access.”
