Located on the back trail of the less traveled Wantagh Parkway Bike/Pedestrian Path.
THE FIRST PARKWAY TO JONES BEACH: In 1927, ground had broken on one of the earliest of the Long Island parkways, the Wantagh State Parkway. Two years later, the initial five-mile segment of parkway from EXIT W6 (Merrick Road) in Wantagh south to Jones Beach State Park was completed. The completion of this section of the Wantagh State Parkway coincided with the opening of Jones Beach, which was named after Major Thomas Jones, an Irish immigrant and privateer who in 1692 established a whaling station in the area
THE PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLING PATH: When the Jones Beach Causeway opened in 1929, a pedestrian and cycling path was constructed along the northbound lanes of the causeway from Jones Beach north to Merrick Road. This path was eventually extended all the way north to the Northern State Parkway in 1938, when the remainder of the Wantagh State Parkway was completed.
In 1938, the Wantagh State Parkway and it's pedestrian path were extended north to the Northern State Parkway in Westbury.
