One of my earliest memories as a young child is my parents bringing me here. Typically during the winter months to enjoy a hot bowl of clam chowder and walk the dock looking at the charter boats. As a young adult I brought my children to enjoy the same experience. They are now in there 30s and I know they have fond memories as well. Now at age 65 this is a popular meeting place for bikers, car enthusiasts and fishermen to enjoy a cup of coffee before they proceed with there plans for the day. The photographs in the cafeteria are a wonderful representation of the history of the area. And of course you can enjoy a day of fishing on one of the many charter boats. If you bear right after entering the park there is a little known picnic area with BBQ pits and tables. Good for young families with young children. This is on the bay side so no waves for children to safely play and hunt for shells.Contrary to one of the other reviews this is not accessible by boat only. Robert Moses causeway takes you right to the parking lot.

Nice view. Lots of parking place. Fishing and crab catcher place. I love this place. Sunset time its really beautiful.

Great place for catching crabs especially during high tide but youll need a very long fishing net pole so you can scoop the blue crabs out of the water, off the pier. To catch the calico crabs, youll have to use a crab cage because they crawl on the bottom floor.

A very beautiful area. Accessible by boat only. This is access to the barrier islands off the East coast of Long Island, New York. We entered the park near Babylon, NY. At the park entrance there is free parking, a restaurant, free toilets, boat slips, bait shop and pier. Available are designated tour vessels, similar to a small passenger ferry which requires a reservation and where beach destinations can be accessed. There are several designated beaches along the barrier island stretching as far East as the Moriches. We visited the section known as Fire Island. There are summer cottage style houses for rent with access to the Atlantic Ocean beaches. The Fire Island Hotel is a quaint and bustling hotel. Flynns Restaurant & Bar serves delicious seafood and burgers. Definitely something to check out on-line for visitor information. Be sure to look at Google Maps to see the details of the beach locations. Farther out by the William Floyd Parkway is a limited area entry for vehicles but does not give access beyond that park/beach area.

Its a very beautiful place to relax and unwind their have a drink or dinner at the restaurant there or you could go out fishing on one of their fishing boats theres a huge fleet you can also take the moonchaser to flynns and the Schooner in Ocean bay park.. on the other side..is a beach that over looks the Robert Moses Bridge. Beautiful sunsets. Fishing and crabbing

Very good service an good clean boat beautiful charter boat the Laura Lee express.

Always a favorite of all to go down by the fishing boats. Stop in and have a bite to eat. Just a favorite to all who frequent.Stop in, say hello to Marybeth. A wonderful person to talk to!

This is a great little gateway on Long Island. You can do many things such as kayaking, boating, fishing, BBQ, or just laze on the beach. This can be a family day event or just a single person trip.

Great local captains who know where the fish are hitting. Even with all the Covid19 restrictions it was nice to be able to escape it all for a few hours and just go fish. Lots of fluke (although only a few were keepers) and sea robin during my bay trip last week. Buddy of mine even caught a small shark! I will be back again later this summer.

Very convenient to catch a fishing boat or use the fishing dock. Plenty of parking and the area is relatively well maintained.

Captree fishing fleet! Went on the Fish finder 2 had a great time and caught striped bass! Love it!

This park has it all its got a nice beach you can go out and charter boats you can launch a boat you can fish this playgrounds for kids just a wonderful place.

Beautiful beach, soft sand and plenty of plants. Fishing and catching crabs there

Beautiful day to sit and look out over the water. The charter boats are still running too.

Best experience, our grouped enjoyed a lot, crew in their best service, planning for a trip with family soon

Love this place. Far around from everything. Quiet. The perfect spot

Launched a private boat from Captree. Out the inlet a few miles.

Great place for a fishing charter or just to relax by the water and enjoy the view

Love this place. A very beautiful area and peaceful!!!

Great place for friends and family or just to find solo serenity. Fishing, crabbing, picnic, car meets, great place for taking pics.

Nice family friendly spot that isnt very crowded. You can fish from 2 different docks. There is a bait and tackle store if you need supplies. Also has a fleet of fishing boats that go out 3 times a day. A small restaurant with out door seating. I havent eaten their but it looks like typical bar food (burgers, dogs and chicken fingers etc.) .

Beautiful and peaceful place... Best of all not crowded

Awesome view just a very nice relaxing place to kick back and enjoy the sand or fresh air sounds of the water I love it

Captree State Park is a very nice place to visit,,there are beautiful beach to relax on the atmosphere is great.. only a few miles away from the ocean inlet wich brings in some beautiful breezes from the ocean its a very relaxing place there are many fishing piers in the area and they also have chartered fishing boats to go fishing on.. captree is a very very nice place to visit, and in the evening theres some really beautiful sunsets to see..

Great fishing. Recommend the Laura lee or Laura lee express. Have been fishing on this boat for years.

The shore near the fishing pier is alittle piece of paradise along the Bay side..

It was great. Didnt catch any fish but it was peaceful

Very peaceful and quiet, I like watching the boats come in and out.

Great afternoon spentShop offer all fishing needs including rods and bites.Geat view,nuce restaurant on the waterPlanty parking space

Nice right off the water.. charter boats for fishing.. beautiful area

An awesome place for boating, walking, hangout and relax with friends and family, especially in Summer time. Ocean waves have great calming factor. If you have ambition to catch some fish or crabs. There are plenty for everyone. There is an on site restaurant serves fresh catches daily. There is a small shop provides most of the supplies you may need for fishing or crabbing. Fishing boats leaves a few times a day to take passengers to the open water. Free entry for cars if you go early in the morning or late in the evening.

One of the best parks on the south shore. Cant beat the views!

Is nice clean and beautiful.

Wknderful.scenery by the water. Beautiful sunsets

Beautiful relaxing state park amazing beach and scenic well maintained.

Always love this place!!!! There are 2 fishing piers to fish from. A beach with bbqs near by to have a picnic and fish. A bait store to stock up on anything you might need and the best part a great fleet of party fishing boats.

Beautiful scenery, fishing pier, playground, passanger fishing boats, tiny tourist and bait shop, restaurant with a view, and picnic tables.

Great place to come bbq fishing off the pier and crabbing. Bait also sold on premise

Love this place, has outdoor food, fishing, a place just to walk around and take it the sights, a lot of fun.

Been going since childhood, proposed to my wife 1996

Wow..kinda creepy there at night..very eerie surroundings. If you have the guts, check it out.

Had a lot of fun walking around the park so a lot of wildlife went on a fishing trip my son caught his first fish overall great place to visit we had a great time. Definitely worth it, to stop by for a day and explore

Peace & quiet amid chaos in our world. God Bless us all.

Great fishing everyone on captree princess caught keepers

Really nice views. We take the boat to go to fire island.

Captree is beautiful, light lunch on the patio watching the boats was lovely. The concession is a rip off $3.25 for a bottle of coke at a state park? Cant beat the scenery.

Enjoy July 4 American Birthday with family at scene, relax and watching seagulls catch fish, beautifully day!

Very clean beach, feels good

Its great to see the water, and fish there.. all fish was no harm. They put back in the water..

Amazing, relaxing fun times with family. Crabbing off the pier

Not too many people. Nice place spend the day with the kids. Play ground still temporarily closed.

Excellent boat ramps. Ample room for multiple boats and ample parking.

The people that work at Captree are awesome...at least one of them is. Lost my wallet in the parking lot and one of the guys that work there drove it to my house. I wish I got his name.

Havent been here in 20 years When out night fishing had a lot of fun met a lot of nice people

Boundless Beauty!

Nice day out on the water. Great staff on boat

It was nice to be there on A wonderful day like today

Love taking a fishing Charters out for some Fluke. Best boat

Great playground for the kids. Ample parking. Great cafe to get burgers and sandwiches while hanging out and watching the boats take off. There is a really long fishing pier to sit and watch people fish or crab. A gazebo to sit and relax in the shade. There is a restaurant upstairs that give you a nice view of the bay unfortunately they dont have a ton of choices and what they do have is a bit pricey. I did not eat there but may try it one day. There is another path where you can set up BBQ and watch the boats. If its a nice day and you are looking for great views to enjoy the peace and quiet then check it out.

Its fun. So many activities that I never know what to do. So usually I just dig a hole and put my head in it. Great place to do it

Very nice place to enjoy with the family and to go fishing.

This is a unique place to meet the ocean.

Nice kars Sunday morning at Cap-Tree State Pk, cold but wanted 2 take kar 4 a ride.

Its so nice to take a drive out on the ocean parkway and then grab a cup of soup at the restaurant

Enjoy watching fishing boats return

Beautiful views, great place to take a walk.

It was fun to visit in the off season! We saw 14 deer along the ride in. We walked along the shore and found a couple of shells and rocks. Our grandaughters loved the four bridges that spanned the water on the drive to and fro. A sunny but cold day that we dressed warm for turned ou to be a very happy time for us all.From Barbara and Tony,Suffolk County,N.Y.

If you want to go fishing at a great place.I recommend this place!!!!

Nice place for a walk or to go crabbing. Enjoy a grill during sundown.

Best place to spend family time crabbing

Boat ramp, has access to Bay on both sides, restaurant, charter boats for fishing, bait shop, two long socks to fish off, bike path.

Awesome very affordable. Boat excursions.

Excellent fishing. There is a lot of chartered boats that will take you out on the bay. There are a lot of fishing piers.

Great trip! Staff was amazing!

Great place to hang out by the water

Fishfinder 2 is the only boat you need to go on for fish

Try it for self & then you will know why

Great location for beaches, bbqs, and crabbing. Parking is $8. Lots of food places around. Great for families and kids

A decent park near water line. $8 entrance fee. You can do fishing and kids can play in the park. Spot for picnic as well. No place for swimming however.

Always a good time.

Clean easy and good yo relax

Really enjoy fishing from the pier, we caught 3 fluke today

Weve been there for a trip on fishing boats but also to launch our own one from the public ramps,also youre able to clean the boats in one side of the parking lot,rinse with fresh water before leave.

Best sunsets. Beautiful view of the Captree Bridge. Bay beach safe for kids. Day and night fishing trips from here and nice playground.

Fishing boats are lotsa fun, great time on the Yankee III

Best place in long island to catch a bait

Super beautiful. quiet and clean.

Nice waves, too much seaweed in the sand

Its the best place to view sunsets. My caveat is, Fire Island and Captree State Park are like entering the land of NO. No parking, no pets, no swimming, no after sunset and the list goes on. Sad.

Beautiful place to watch the sunset

Didnt catch any fish but the kids had fun.

Couldnt get in every entrance got locked out

A great place for summer fishing and crabbing. No such luck for 2 weeks because of seaweed but Im optimistic. SEAWEED is understood in English, Spanish, Chinese and Korean. I really wish people READ the sign that says to throw the seaweed back! I almost cracked my neck slipping but thats another post.

Good for crabbings and fishing

Great place to go fishing.....

Went down to enjoy the beach was surprised to see huge deer along roadside very pleasing to see wildlife flourishing on Long Island

Great location Sunday classic car gather. Loved it.

Romantic

Very nice pleasant and scenic walk.

Close to the city.Great beaches and good fishing.
