The principal entrance from the Great South Bay and Atlantic Ocean to the inside passages and towns in Hempstead Bay. The inlet, which is used mostly by pleasure craft and fishermen, is relatively shallow and somewhat dangerous because of the way its depths and channel shape constantly change. The "controlling depth" of the channel is about seven feet from Point Lookout to the Loop Parkway Bridge over Long Creek.
The jetty on the east side of the entrance to Jones Inlet has a light and fog signal at its far end, and a radiobeacon at its inner end. A Coast Guard station stands inside the inlet on the north side of Short Beach, and displays storm warnings as necessary.
In TWD, Nita and Kit have a serious disagreement about the construction of a spell to clean up the waters in this area. (DW, TWD)
