Sandy Beach

The Northport Harbor view – Asharoken Beach loop offers a fantastic road cycling experience, blending diverse coastal and upland scenery. You'll cruise along Asharoken Avenue, a particularly scenic stretch known for its flat profile and water views on both sides, offering glimpses of the Long Island Sound and Northport Bay. While mostly smooth, be ready for some unpaved sections that add a touch of challenge to this otherwise moderate ride.

Starting from Kings Park, this 26.8-mile (43.2 km) loop with 1070 feet (326 metres) of elevation gain is achievable in just under two hours, making it an ideal choice for a focused workout or a leisurely scenic tour. Spring and fall are often the best seasons for comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds, but a clear summer day also provides beautiful conditions for exploring the coastline.

This route stands out for its unique blend of natural beauty and historic charm, particularly around the village of Northport. The Asharoken area, situated on an isthmus, provides a distinct coastal experience with access to sandy beaches and significant salt marshes, offering a rich variety of landscapes beyond just the open road.
