Jones Beach Hike, Dinner, Fireworks, Walk

Hike along the sands in the Zach's Bay area; then return to cars to collect picnic stuff: food, blankets, etc., and then head to the beach to enjoy dinner, conversation, and fireworks. (Bring dinner; the line to buy is huge.) After the fireworks we will leisurely walk the boardwalk until the parking lot empties. We will pass the bus stop.

Meet on the east side of Parking Field 5, near Zach's Bay at 6:30 PM, by the east tunnel leading to the East Bathhouse, on the parking lot side of the tunnel. The east side is the side where the buildings and Zach's Bay beach is. Following the path to the right gets you to the tunnel.

There is a bus/LIRR package. Ask bus driver to let you off at the East Bathhouse. Walk west (the direction the bus came from) in front of the building to the tunnel leading under the road - it leads to the east end of Parking Field 5.

If you do not want to walk, but want to join us for the fireworks, you can wait for us at the same meeting spot as above. But I can not be exact as to the time.

Jones Beach summer parking fee will be collected, for those drivers who have not invested in a 2008 Empire Passport.
