Beach was not super crowded. Water was cool but refreshing. We watched some surfers paddle boarders. The beach was clean, water clear. Just classic.
I liked the beach, ocean and shorebirds and the land birds that find shelter there. I will add Fort Pond. I am disappointed that hunting is allowed there. Many species are disappearing. Canvasbacks are seriously declining, and yet hunting persisits. Scoters are also experiencing problems. NO ONE MONITORS to see if quotas of killings are exceeded. Also, sometimes hunters shoot to close to the shore at Montauk Point. I would like to see strong, educational programs in Montauk about nature and conservation, including birds as well as seals, etc.
Great beach. We rented a house nearby and walked each day, all week. Water was beautiful. Played lots of frisbee. Busier on the weekends, but very nice in late afternoons. Even when crowded, didn't feel it. Food trucks in parking lots are expensive, but easy way to eat.
Surfed here as a kid and the beach is still amazing. Beach plums in dunes, beautiful beach and cliffs. Just to spend an afternoon on the beach in the water and watching the surfers re-living my youth makes me feel great. Love the morning mist and the crash of the breakers onto the rocks.
We love to walk to the ditch to watch the surfers. We really hope that the new owners of the East Deck don't discourage the surfers from coming there.
We drove to Ditch Plains Sunday morning to watch the ocean. It was cool and breezy and the waves higher and wilder than usual due to the hurricane off of Bermuda. We were treated to a show of about 2 dozen surfers bobbing and riding the waves. A delighful morning.
BEAUTIFUL!!! Went down Ditch Plains Road and caught the beach down a side roach. Several side roads lead straight to the beach. Best spot was near these rocks. Waves were awesome and the morning sun shines down so warm and nice.
Had a ton of fun at this great beach! Lots of waves that helped with my first surfing lesson through Corey's Wave!
This is a great beach for anything you want it to be from surfing to relaxing. If you don't surf, it a fun place to watch some awesome ( and not so awesome) surfers.
we went to this beach on a foggy, drizzly day. the walk was beautiful even with the weather. the surf was high, the surfers were out which made for some fantastic photographs!
