"This gorgeous, sweeping stretch of sand is one of the United States' premier spots along the coast: Cooper's Beach. You can find it towards the east end of Long Island, New York - one of many captivating U.S. islands you can drive to - just a 20-minute walk from the village of Southampton. Besides its alluring soft white sand and dunes covered with American beach grass,"
"There are lots of ways to reach Cooper's Beach, and it is well-connected since it is only 90 miles outside of New York City. If you're taking public transport, trains on the Long Island Rail Road take about two-and-a-half hours to travel from Penn Station to Southampton. You can also find a route that transfers in Jamaica, Queens, if you're coming from another part of the city."
"The Hampton Jitney is another option. The bus service, which travels to both the North and South Forks of Long Island, has pick-up spots all over Manhattan. The travel time from the city to Southampton is similar to the train, though it is more dependent on traffic. The roads can be horrendously busy on summer weekends, so driving yourself is not recommended."
Cooper's Beach sits on the east end of Long Island near the village of Southampton, about a 20-minute walk from the village center. The beach offers soft white sand, dunes covered with American beach grass, and views of luxury Hamptons mansions. Coastal scientist Dr. Stephen Leatherman (Dr. Beach) named Cooper's Beach the best beach in America in 2025 after decades of evaluating beaches. The beach lies roughly 90 miles from New York City. Public transit options include the Long Island Rail Road (about two-and-a-half hours from Penn Station) and the Hampton Jitney bus from Manhattan. Summer weekend road traffic can be very heavy, so driving is not recommended.
