I grew up on Long Island, and it seems like Jones Beach (west end 2 and Smith Point Park) were always there. We would go every weekend and often during the week. It seemed like all the radios were tuned to either 77wabc or 1010wins. The water was always so cold it was hard to get into at the beginning of the summer, but the waves for body surfing were great and we would spend hours in the water and come out with blue lips and chattering teeth. Remember, this was before air conditioning was commonplace and going to the beach was the only relief from the heat. Some of my best childhood memories!
