A peaceful place to relax by the water, rain or shine ✨️ nice little get away on the Great South bay
Great place to sit in your car during the winter months and see the reindeer feed on the pumpkin the locals bring down to the beach. Or just sit in your car and hear the water crash on the dock. It is a very peaceful place to read a book during the off season in your car.
This park is a magical spot on the island! Its a great spot for a family on a budget to not only be by the peaceful waters, but there are deer everywhere! They are very friendly deer and some come right up to your car! Plenty of running space for the kids and exploration to be done! I had a great time even in the cold air. Be sure to bring some treats for the deer when you come because they are irresistible!
This marina park is huge. There is plenty of room for your boating pleasure and also for parking. The ball fields are toward the rear of the parking lot and are maintained very nicely. Bring a bunch of chairs, small table, simple food sandwiches, drink and snacks, and on a perfect summer night, enjoy the sunset. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

A Local Gem for Unwinding and Connection
East Islip Marina Park has become one of my favorite places on Long Island. Whether it’s the stunning sunsets that paint the sky in brilliant oranges and purples, or the joy of playing in the SOVL volleyball league with some of the most amazing friends, every visit gives me a chance to recharge and reconnect.
The volleyball league itself is something special — it’s more than just a game. It’s a weekly escape from the grind of work and home responsibilities, where the energy is high, the laughs are loud, and the community is second to none. Everyone is welcoming, and the vibe is always positive.
If you’re looking for a beautiful place to spend your evenings, meet great people, or just take a moment to breathe in the fresh air and take in the views — this park is it. Highly recommend!
