Perhaps because this is one of the few truly public beaches in Long Island, Jones Beach can attract anyone and everyone stay away during weekends and holidays as it's absurdly crowded. If you want even more privacy, head to Field 6, the farthest East bathhouse, and then keep walking East away from the rest of the crowd. After a mile or so, you'll find yourself in the company of naked people. This is the unofficial gay/nude section of Jones Beach although there are generally a handful of women here too who want to sunbathe nude without being hassled. While gay Jones Beach lore is filled with Fire-Island like tales of debauchery in the dunes, I've found my visits to be far more relaxing than raunchy. Do note that nude sunbathing is technically illegal and police have on occasion handed out citations...but it doesn't seem to happen that often.
