Take the Meadowbrook south to Jones Beach.
Its on the West Beach - find a kid or two to bring with you, and you'll be a very popular person

Re: Jones Beach Holiday Lights

Jennbaby-coming from the wantagh pwky south I think you go to where you would go to the jones beach theatre...you take that turn and then just go straight not towards the theatre-like going to field 10 i believe----i was there once the first year they had it--it's really nice!

double check the website!!

Re: Jones Beach Holiday Lights

Congrats Dubliner!!!! I went to the holiday lights at Jones Beach 2 years ago and they were great! It was their first year so I bet they are even better now. We went to the Belmont one last year and I was not as impressed. Jones BEach was much better. We will be going again this weekend!!! BEWARE OF A LONG LINE THOUGH!!!

I love it too. It is a drive through. It is really nice. I think it is $12 per car load.

Re: Jones Beach Holiday Lights

Tracy
Its a drive through, and everyone turns off their lights so all you see are the decorations

It was $ 15 last night
I think its $12 on weekdays (and the site has a $2 off coupon for Monday)
I think an SUV type car is more
