As the temps grower colder, I am missing this quiet space even more. My husband and I enjoy bringing our lounge chairs during the spring and summer months. A truly serene and quiet space to spend an hour or two. The only small downside is there is limited parking and it is situated on a rather busy main road.

Harbour Island Beach is one of the best in Westchester County! When my daughter was young I would take her to this beach every other day, and we would have a great time. I especially liked the splash pad and the park where my daughter could play on, and enjoy herself. The admission for non-residents has increased and would recommend the season pass, to save money. On the grounds, they have a huge field for soccer, baseball, and sitting with family. When I was younger, my parents used to take me and my siblings to the marina, to watch the boats go by, while we ate lunch in our car. The memories are very clear, of those times.

Peaceful environment, and very relaxing atmosphere where you can get some sun, walk along the beach, go fishing, they have activities as well, and food.

While we actually came for the beach, my kids couldn't leave the area without playing on the playground, and frankly, we ended up spending more time here than at the beach! There's a fun ship to climb all over as well as a spinning rope thing that I've never seen before and made us all dizzy. There are varying slide sizes, which is good for kids of different ages. There are a few spots for shade, too, which is clutch. We'll be spending more time here, for sure!

One of my friends was dogsitting for the day and since she knows I love doggos, she invited me to come meet the pup as well as spend some time outside and catch up. I met her here at Harbor Island Park - since I had never been before, I was excited to check it out. Harbor Island Park is located at the cross of Boston Post Rd and Mamaroneck Ave; the latter is a long road that runs Downtown White Plains trough Mamaroneck, and this is effectively where it ends and you meet the water. The park is really spacious, there's plenty of parking and a lot of open fields that can be used for multiple activities. Additionally, there's a playground and a couple of baseball fields and a private beach open to residents of Mamaroneck. I also noticed some buildings that gave off catering hall vibes which makes me think one can probably arrange to have a party or whatnot here. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Harbor Island Park. While I'm more inclined to Glen Island Park in New Rochelle and Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx, this park holds its own and it a nice way to spend some time outdoors.

I haven't been here yet, but I'm inclined to give a 5 star review because of what I've read from others and MOSTLY because the town of Mamaroneck has opened the beach and provided good details online about how to enjoy and navigate the space. Please check this out before you go: https://www.village.mamaroneck.ny.us/parks-recreation/beach-and-parking-info In short, beaches are open to residents most of the day, and non-residents starting at 1pm. Beginning Friday, June 5: Beach Pavilion Restrooms are open to beach users and will remain open daily during regular beach hours (9am-5pm). All other Harbor Island Park restrooms remain closed.

These portable restrooms are cleaned and sanitized twice daily: once in the morning and once in the late afternoon. Please note the following guidelines: No more than two (2) individuals or one (1) family are allowed in the beach restroom area at any given time. Beach restrooms will be open to beach users/staff only. Face masks are required while in the beach restroom areas. Indoor shower facilities will remain closed. The Spray Ground is closed until further notice. The beach will be open to VILLAGE OF MAMARONECK RESIDENTS ONLY between 9:00am and 1:00pm. Non-Village of Mamaroneck residents may enter the beach beginning at 1:00pm.

Right where Mamaroneck Ave. ends and you can't get any further- is Harbor Island Park in the Village of Mamaroneck. Based on us driving past the unattended entrance kiosk, seems like Harbor Island is a free-for-all and opened off season. You can't miss the water because Harbor Island opens up with the boat dock smack dab in the middle where Mamaroneck Ave and Boston Post Rd. meet. If you do boating, call ahead to make sure they have temporary/long term docks, fuel or other services you might need. Road signs are visible and straightforward- so getting in and around the park itself is easy. There's also a small Beach area towards the back. Unlike the park being open year-round, the beach area however, is obviously closed (and gated) during off season. Our plan was to get seafood dinner from Harbour Fish, pack up and eat at home. But weather was mild on a Friday evening and was a shame to let the day go to waste. Got our dinner, parked the car and sat facing the water. Took a stroll afterwards then heard some music down yonder. Sure enough, there was Music and folks doing Zumba in the Pavilion! I thought that was cool! So it seems like you can rent out the pavilion for events and such. It was a nice waterfront experience. Not that hubby and I drink from public water fountains, but our mood went downhill and noticed a couple walking their dogs and heading towards the water fountain. Naive us- we're thinking the adults were heading for the fountain themselves- but they actually helped their dogs get on their hind legs to reach the fountain. And I totally get it, these idiots want to keep their dogs hydrated. But at that moment, hubby and I just felt grossed out. So please Management- the same way it's easy to navigate your Park, the Beach and the Dock with ALL your signs AND for the sake of cleanliness, please provide appropriate ADULT-ONLY signage for your Fountains.

park is great quit and clean, great for families. Be advised there is an entry fee for parking in the park and a separate beach fee during the spring/summer season. Cash only. Be prepared to pay even if your child is at a sport event on fileds if you dont bring your vouchers. This is NOT a Westchester county park and have their own rules and regulations. You can apply for a parking pass at their main office. Website is not updated with correct info. But overall a great park to enjoy!

On a warm summer day, this is the perfect place to go for a walk after a nice meal along Mammaroneck avenue. Four stars because it couldn't be easier to get to and the park is free. If you're coming from another town like me and don't have a car, just get off at the Metro North Mammaroneck stop and cross the street. You're right there on Mammaroneck avenue which has so many nice places to eat like great burgers at Smash Burger or fantastic pizza at Frankie and Fanuccis. Then right at the end of the avenue is the entrance to Harbor Island Park. I wish there was more seating although there is a very nice walkway that goes along the entire park with some park benches alongside. I also wish the beach was bigger. It's rather tight and packed with kids on the weekend plus $7 per adult to get in behind the fenced in sand. That's why I prefer this park for a nice walk after dinner. I hope to come for some of the Summer festivals at some point.

Great time. I took a trip up there to snap some photos from the Bronx. The trek there sucked. I ended up taking Boston Post/Main Street all the way up because 95 was back up. Parking was easy, especially for a Saturday afternoon. The views there are simply beautiful. Tons of privately owned boats docked there. There are large grassy areas that are open to everyone though the fields you might need permits for. There is also a a child's playground there which is great. Everyone there was nice and greeted me with smiles. There are a lot of parks that require fees or county residency, but this one require neither. Definitely an overall great experience with lots of photos to reflect upon. I will upload a few here.
