Flies is a sandy beach break on Long Island's north shore, facing northeast toward the Atlantic with a natural NNW orientation that captures winter and autumn swells effectively. The relatively protected beach setup makes it an accessible option for beginners and intermediate surfers looking for mellow, forgiving waves. With lighter crowds compared to nearby famous breaks, this spot offers a more relaxed surfing experience along the northern Long Island coast.
