Event Description

Join us at Cupsogue Beach County Park for a beach walk to observe, photograph and learn about Long Island seals with Dr. Arthur Kopelman of the Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island (CRESLI). Weather permitting.

Details to know before you go:

  • Meet us at Cupsogue Beach County Park located at 975 Dune Road in Westhampton Beach. We will meet at 7:45 am at the area near the fence at the western end of the parking lot. Look for a sign or poster from CRESLI near the fence. (You will need to provide your own transportation to the park.)
  • The walk is approximately 1.2 miles round trip and takes about 1.5 hours.  These walks are suitable for children. Please be advised that there are no bathroom facilities available at this park during winter and spring.
  • Be prepared for the weather! Dress warmly in layers, wear long pants, hat, gloves, etc.  Check the weather for Westhampton Beach and assume that the winds will produce wind chill. In addition, please wear outerwear with muted colors.
  • Bring your own drinking water, cameras, binoculars and whatever else you might need or want.
