Cooper's Beach, Southampton

Thought this beach may have just been hype but was really pleasantly surprised. Gorgeous long stretches of soft white sand that really is one of the cleanest beaches I've been to on the east coast, no shells, seaweed, etc. Gorgeous mansions in the backdrop and amazingly quiet during the week. $50 to park for the day but has restrooms, food, and plenty of space. We went after parking charges ended to catch the sunset.

This place is really beautiful, get there early to get good shaded parking, upon arrival it's $50 cash to park no apple/Samsung pay or credit card at the booth. You can rent chairs and umbrellas, there's an area to purchase food, the rest room and wash off area are closed down by 6 pm but they do have port a potties around. The waves are huge and rough, difficult to swim in, but fun to surf, paddle board and jump around in, very salty water, but clean.
