Description Suggest change

A stunning highball-ish boulder with three of the best climbs on Long Island.

All three of these problems are extremely tide dependent and only climbable at or around low tide. The sand level also tends to vary from year to year, which will have an effect on the height of these problems. Occasionally, the sand level is so low that these boulders aren't climbable at all. So, pay attention to tide charts if you're interested in these lines.

As of 10/18, the sand level was perfect!

Getting There Suggest change

From the dead end, walk west for a tenth of a mile. The boulder will be very obvious.
If you park anywhere on this road or at the dead end without a Southhold town permit, you WILL get a ticket starting at $75.
If you park on somebody's lawn or on somebody's property your car will be towed.
There is no nearby public parking, if anybody has found a solution to getting here without taking an uber or getting dropped off please let others know.
