Sandy Island Beach State Park
Sandy Island Beach State Park is a New York State park on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario. Its highlight is a natural sandy beach. The park is near the southern end of a notable length of sandy shoreline, coastal dunes, and wetlands (the Eastern Lake Ontario Dunes and Wetlands); a 1959 study noted that "The eastern end of Lake Ontario contains not only the finest beaches on the entire lake, but also the finest wildlife habitat."
The park's facilities include several lake swimming areas with lifeguards (in season), changing rooms and restrooms, and a concession stand; a parking fee is charged through the summer season. The park recorded averages about 30,000 recorded visits each season. The park's area is , which makes it the smallest New York State Park. It is immediately adjacent to the Sandy Island Beach Unique Area, which is a conservation area administered as a New York State Forest. The Unique Area incorporates several additional acres of land near the Park as well as most of the southern end of North Sandy Pond. The State Park and the Unique Area are in the Town of Richland in Oswego County.
=="The hottest spot on the shoreline"==
In the 1950s, Sandy Island Beach was opened as a private beach resort by LeGrande and Eva Smith. The resort became very popular. As Jack Major described it, "Overnight, Sandy Pond Beach – renamed Sandy Island Beach – became the place to go".〔 The webpage is part of a larger website that describes one family's experiences at Sandy Pond over 80 years.〕 Ed Wyroba recalled that, through the 1960s, "it was the hottest spot on the shoreline. All our parents had gone there." Following LeGrande Smith's death in 1966 and a decline in its popularity, the resort was closed in the early 1970s. The condition of the area deteriorated, which led to public discussions in 1976 of its possible purchase by Oswego County. In 1980, of the resort were purchased from the Smiths by Ed Wyroba and Dyke Riggs. They reopened the resort in 1981,〔 and operated it until 1991. In 1999, The Nature Conservancy stepped in to help protect the property. In partnership with Oswego County and the State of New York, the Central & Western New York Chapter of The Nature Conservancy acquired the remaining from the Riggs' heirs. The Conservancy then conveyed on the beachfront to Oswego County for a park; were purchased from the Conservancy by New York State for the Unique Area.〔〔Oswego County real estate transaction records for parcel 027.14-01-01.2 (Unique Area) and parcel 027.13-01-01 (State Park). (Online versions ) accessed 2009-01-26.〕 Oswego County operated the beach resort for several years, and built a new bathhouse, picnic pavilions, and a boardwalk. In 2005, the County Park was transferred to the New York State Park system, which operates it.
