"Welcome to Wantagh - The Gateway To Jones Beach." This nostalgic sign that's located at the intersection of Wantagh Avenue and Jerusalem Avenue is a reminder of the beauty that lies just a few miles south from the town that we call home. We often get caught up in the idea of taking a trip away, and we don't realize how much we can do if we stay home. So, why not take a "staycation" this summer and take in all that our hometown has to offer?Jones Beach State Park is not only home to a beautiful beach, but it hosts many events throughout the summer that make for a nice family day out and about in the sun. During memorial day weekend, Jones Beach and Bethpage Federal Credit Union host the annual Jones Beach Memorial Day Air Show which is a day filled with aviation demonstrations right over the sandy shore. Jones Beach also hosts it's annual 4th of July fireworks show, which is a night of displays that you surely don't want to miss out on. Not to mention, Jones Beach is also home to one of the greatest theatres around, the Nikon Jones Beach theatre, where musical acts from every different genre perform throughout the summer months.
If nothing else, why not take the family down to the beach for a fun day in the sun. Take a walk on the two mile long boardwalk where there is always time to stop and grab some Friendly's ice cream. Or stop by the mini theatre where is a variety of free shows and concerts. Get in a game of mini golfing, take a dip in one of two pools, or just bring some shovels and pails and build an impressive sand castle. There is never a shortage of activities to enjoy at Jones Beach State Park, and we should all try to take it in more.
Why not choose a restaurant that offers a diverse food under one roof? Friendly's restaurants are ideal for folks who want to try a variety of cuisines. You will be able to examine a variety of food items. They serve a variety of desserts. They are also famous for their ice cream cakes. They are the ideal way to cap off a fantastic meal. It is strongly advised that you include a dessert at the end of your dinner.
