7) Sammy’s Beach
Leave your car at the end of Old House Landing Road and walk east. Sammy’s Beach is likely named after Samuel Parsons who bought the peninsula in 1731. Great for finding colorful Jingle shells (anomia simplex). Lots of sand, stones and shells, good bathing and fishing spots.
8) Maidstone Park Beach
The eastern side of the mouth of Three Mile Harbor. A county park administered by the Town of East Hampton with a baseball field, picnic areas, bathroom facilities, and a rock jetty. Great for bathing, fishing, long-distance swimming training, and shell collecting. The source of shells for Maidstone Jewelry.
9) Lion Head Beach
From the bottom of Flaggy Hole Road, walk east past Camp Blue Bay (girl scout camp). High bluffs with private homes on top, occasionally seals visible on the rock at low tide in winter. The walk from Flaggy Hole Rd to Hog Creek is about 1 mile.
10) Kings Point Beach
Access is private (Clearwater Beach Association). Named after early settler (1649) King. Rocky and inaccessible at high tide. Lots of drift wood and nice assortment of shells and stones.
11) Gerard Drive, Gerard Point
Take Springs Fireplace Rd then turn right on to Gerard Drive — 1.5 miles along a spit of land. Water on both sides: Gardiner’s Bay to the east, Accabonac Harbor to the west. Much of the land is owned by the Nature Conservancy. A bird watchers paradise and favorite for cyclists and runners.
12) Louse Point Beach
At the southern end of Accabonac Harbor. A quiet, secluded bay beach popular with local fishermen. Beautiful sunset views across the harbor.
