Full feature, including our favorite trails and activities in the area – coming soon.

100 miles from NYC, midcentury beach getaway Goldie Point is wonderful year-round, but would like you to know about “Secret September” and “Summer’s Not Over October.” Currently it’s September, the weather is still hot, the water is warm, and the masses of tourists are totally gone. A few months later, experience what the owners call “Wes Anderson Winter,” where the season and stillness create the perfect environment for recovery and wellness at the beach — in total solitude.
