Party People Congregate at Cupsogue Beach in Westhampton

Long Island people still have a lot of heart! The young, the old, and even the disabled, gather at Cupsogue Beach to just enjoy the Summer Afternoon.

A local business owner, who runs a bar, called the Beach Hut, sponsors and hires Bands to play on the deck outside of his establishment. This Sunday there were over 200 party animals of all ages, having a great time in the Sun.

I really admire people that have a positive attitude! I actually saw a gentleman at this gathering with an Oxygen Mask in one hand, and a Pena Colata in the other! People, young and old, swaying back and forth as the Band plays a Jimmy Buffet tune, "Margareetaville!" Once a band plays that tune they could do no wrong!

I later went to the Extreme east end of Dune Road, to have dinner at Sunwaters. Taking note of the action along the entire length of Dune Road; it looks like the Beach Hut, at Cupsogue Beach takes the prize!

You don't "have to" live in Florida, to have a great time. Always remember where the "Original Party Animals," came from, New York!

Not Bad for a bunch of "Damned Yankees!" Ha! Ha!

From Joan LaLa Gerson:

The Cupsogue Beach pictures sure bring back some great memories. In the late nineties, my husband and I sold our home in Shoreham and moved to a condo in Farmingville where the Ski Bowl used to be. At that time, we realized that we would soon be leaving the beautiful Long Island Beaches for Florida so we started to go to the beach regularly and this beach was the one where we used to enjoy the band and the Wednesday evening lobster special. Now we are summering in the Poconos and enjoying the beautiful mountain air up here. It would be great to get to that Cupsogue Beach some time again this summer. Take advantage of those Long Island beaches. They are the best in the world!
