Jones Beach State Park on Long Island's South Shore in New York is a classic East Coast beach break that picks up South Atlantic swells and occasional hurricane pulses rolling up the coastline. The waves here are typically soft and crumbly, making it a popular learning ground, though fall nor'easters can push solid overhead surf along the sandbars. Its proximity to New York City means the lineup fills up fast on good days, but the wide stretch of beach spreads crowds out reasonably well.
