It is to this designated section of the beach that my infamous book club traveled to celebrate a member’s birthday and discuss the sexually explicit, yet well-written autobiography, The Sexual Life of Catherine M. For there, on the east end of Robert Moses, lies a designated “clothing optional” bathing section.
Although family friendly, not all of the beach is heavily populated with kids – particularly, on the east end.
There is a small playground near the entrance, a typical beach-food shack serving soft pretzels, fries, etc., and a golf course. Every bit as beautiful as Jones Beach, if not more so, Robert Moses boasts 5 miles of soft, sandy beach in which beachgoers can swim, surf, or fish. Past Jones Beach, on the less populated, car accessible west end of Fire Island, sits Robert Moses State Park.
