Sandy Island Beach State Park is a picturesque destination located in Pulaski, NY. It is part of the Eastern Lake Ontario Dune and Wetland System, offering visitors a unique experience surrounded by beaches, dunes, wetlands, and embayments. The park is known for its coastal barrier, which protects both natural habitats and human structures from the impact of Lake Ontario's waves and currents. With opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and enjoying the beautiful dune environment, Sandy Island Beach State Park is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts.

As the only significant freshwater dune site in the northeastern United States, Sandy Island Beach State Park is a haven for migratory birds, including the endangered piping plover and the state-endangered black tern. The park has established a Protected Bird Nesting Area to ensure the preservation of these species. Walkovers and viewing platforms have been built to allow visitors to explore the dunes while minimizing their impact on the fragile ecosystem. With its stunning natural beauty and diverse wildlife, Sandy Island Beach State Park offers a tranquil escape for those looking to connect with nature.
