Surf Caution: Strong waves expected from 10 AM-3 PM — not ideal for kids (4.3ft waves)
Cooper's Beach in Southampton, NY is a renowned public beach known for its pristine white sand, and beautiful location on Dune Road amongst expensive mansions. While it offers amenities such as restrooms, showers, a food shack, chair/umbrella rentals, and lifeguards, the high parking fee ($50-55) for non-residents is a frequent point of discussion. The beach itself is expansive, offering both areas of higher activity and quieter spots for relaxation. Although often praised for its cleanliness and stunning backdrop, the water conditions, with sometimes strong waves, is a concern for swimming, especially for young children.

"Stunning beach, clean sand, great for families, but pricey parking! Waves can be strong. Restrooms sometimes need maintenance."
Cooper's Beach is a beautiful, high-end beach with excellent amenities but a very high parking fee, deterring some visitors. While generally family friendly, the strong waves make it less ideal for young children. Cleanliness of facilities is inconsistent.
