The group of eight interconnected beaches at the heart of Jones Beach State Park, on the South Shore of Long Island. Though other beachfront state parks in the area are nominally separate entities -- like Robert Moses and Captree -- Long Island residents like Nita and Kit tend to think of them as part of Jones Beach.
Numerous events in DW and TWD take place in or near the Jones Beach area, and its famous water tower is occasionally referenced in the series as a landmark. The main beach is six and a half miles long, with the water tower at its center. The Jones Beach complex also contains a two mile long boardwalk, a marine theater, and a "still water" beach on the inside of the long barrier island which makes up most of the state park. (DW, TWD et al.)
