This bay, located on the southern edge of Long Island, is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by just a small strip of land. This body of water has a variety of connected waterways ranging from bays, creeks, coves, and ponds (Mecox Bay being the largest and center of them all). One is likely to find a particular section of this paddling adventure that suits them. Parking and bay access is actually to the north within Hayground Cove.
