Nickerson Beach Park
Nickerson Beach Park is a sprawling 155-acre beachfront destination in Nassau County that offers something for every family member. Whether you're looking to spend a day at the beach, cool off in the swimming pools, or enjoy recreational activities, this park delivers diverse entertainment options. The park features a campground for multi-day stays, a pitch-and-putt golf course, skate park, dog park, and multiple beach access points, making it an ideal spot for families seeking both relaxation and active fun. The park operates seasonally from April 1 through October 31, with extended hours from 8:00 AM to dusk daily. Swimming pools open on June 14, 2025, and the cabana area operates through September 15. Parking fees vary by residency status—Nassau County residents with a valid Leisure Pass pay $15 daily or $110 for a season pass, while non-residents pay $37 daily or $295 for a season pass. Pool bracelet fees are equally affordable, with resident children (ages 2-17) and seniors paying just $6 per day, and adults at $10 per day. Families can enhance their visit with several premium experiences. The pitch-and-putt golf course charges $12 per game with equipment rentals available. Those looking for extended stays can reserve campsites with RV facilities, though pools and golf must be paid separately. The skate park is open from Memorial Day to Columbus Day and requires helmets and protective gear, with children under 18 needing adult supervision. A valid leisure pass is required for Nassau County residents to access many facilities. Visitors should note that the park has specific rules to maintain a family-friendly environment. Fireworks and sparklers are strictly prohibited, quiet hours are enforced (10 PM Sunday-Thursday, 11 PM Friday-Saturday), and pets must be leashed at all times with vaccination records required. Facility gates close at 10:00 PM nightly, so all guests must exit before this time. With its combination of beach access, recreational facilities, and affordable pricing for residents, Nickerson Beach Park offers excellent value for Nassau County families seeking summer entertainment.
