About

Sandy Beach State Park is a 16-acre state park in New York, about 5.5 miles from the town of Sandy Creek. It is managed by the state park agency, State Park and Recreation, and its small footprint makes it a compact stop rather than an all-day destination. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 79°F with lows near 57°F, according to averages from the nearby Pulaski, NY weather station, while winter highs stay around freezing or below. Several other outdoor spots sit within easy reach. Pine Grove Trail is about 5 miles away, Frog Pond Trail and the Salmon River are each under 6 miles away, and Backus Bend Trail is close to 10 miles off.
