Dix Hills and Melville residents are lucky during the summer months to have such easy access to both the North Shore beaches and the renowned ocean beaches on the South Shore. The Town of Huntington has 8 town beaches and they’re all open the end of May to Labor Day Weekend. The seasonal permit (for residents) is only $25 and can be obtained right at the beach with a valid driver’s license and car registration.  You can find directions to the beaches and more information at the Town of Huntington’s website.

There are a myriad of summer activities sponsored by the Town of Huntington. From summer camps for children to lessons in belly dancing for adults to “Movies on the Lawn” to golf and swimming lessons – you’ll find it in the Summer Leisure Guide!  Check it out! The services and facilities available to all residents is a big reason why people love to live in Huntington Township.

And, of course, the Huntington Arts Council sponsors the annual Summer Arts Festival in Heckscher Park every year.  A highlight of the summer  is to bring your lawn chair in the evening  to sit with friends and neighbors to hear a concert in the park. The Council has a wonderful program scheduled for this year.   Don’t miss it!

I found this beautiful video on You Tube which shows some of the lovely beaches and lighthouses on Long Island. I thought you might enjoy seeing and sharing it with your friends.
