I'm not sure how I've lived in the Hamptons for 6 plus years and not known about this little patch of heaven? A friend of mine told me about seals that sun themselves in the winter and spring at Cupsogue Beach. To get to them, you have to drive to the end of the parking lot, passed the concession stands. Then, you get the choice to park and enjoy a 15 minute nature walk to the spot, or to drive your 4 wheeler to the spot where the campers park in the summer. Check the tide tables before you go and plan on going during low tide. Apparently other people knew to go at that point as well because it was pretty much a dog park. Which was a perfect way to celebrate Cubbie's eighth year of life. Look to the bay once you get to the campers parking area and you cannot miss those cute little creatures. When we got there they were swimming and not sunning themselves, which made for a fun game of find the seals with the littles. The Felon and Roo decided that 50 degrees was warm enough to wade in the water with their clothes on and I may have followed suit. It would be smart to put your Hunter water boots on to avoid getting drenched because you will want to explore. I was holding two dog leashes and didn't bring our good camera, so I will have to post better seal pictures another day. But I highly recommend you taking your littles here ASAP!
