That’s the reason why we are pushed to bring you the best spots that we think you’d love to hit this summer. Hence we thought to share the things you should know about Smith Point Beach from this article. Smith Point Park is Suffolk County’s most magnificent oceanfront park. So, let’s see about the things you should know about Smith Point Beach if you plan to visit this place. Location, History, and Facts of Smith Point Beach sky reflected in the ocean at the Fire Island Smith Point County Park is a beachfront park facing the Atlantic Ocean. It is on the east end of Fire Island, along the central south shore of Long Island, near Shirley, New York, United States. The beach got its name from Smith Point, a peninsula on the Long Island mainland that stretches into Bellport Bay. Smith Point Park originates its name from William “Tangier” Smith, an ancient New York settler. He was the late mayor of the city of Tangier of the Moroccan Coast. Afterward, Smith moved to New York in the 1600s and became a member of the Governor’s council. Later, he recovered grants of landform Lord Limerick. Smith ultimately obtained large bundles of land in what is now known as the town of Brookhaven. In 1701, he toiled as acting Governor of New York. Comfortable public access to Smith Point Suffolk County Park started in 1959. This occurred when the state opened the bridge that joins the mainland of Long Island to Smith Point Beach, located on what is named Fire Island. However, over the years, nature has not been generous to Smith Point Beach. Repetitious northeasters and Hurricane Sandy took damage on the ocean beach, causing extensive erosion. Anyway, in 2015, the United States Army Corps of Engineers commenced setting roughly 2.5 million cubic yards of sand onto the beaches at Smith Point County Park. The project outcomes have been significantly flourishing. And this led Smith Point Beach to look once again like before the storms devastated much of the shore. Significance of the Smith Point Beach Smith Point serves as Suffolk County’s most significantly known beach and treasure of the Suffolk County park system. With over five miles of soft sandy shores, it is also one of the most extensive and most impressive public beaches in the entire state of New York. To reach Smith Point County Park, one must pass over a bridge to get to the park’s destination on Fire Island. The William Floyd Parkway gives entrance to the bridge from the North. There are no fees on the bridge. However, the visitors should exit the bridge and drive for approximately a half-mile by the park. Then, they will likely be welcomed by a toll booth to enter the park’s large parking lot. Facilities/Amenities and Things You Can Do at Smith Point Beach The majority of guests throughout the summer months use Smith Point County Park for its wonderful beach. However, the park contributes a camping ground that is available by permit only. The camping ground is often used by numerous New Yorker’s camping wheels and community-sponsored camping excursions. Campers could enjoy 222 campsites with full hookups for trailers. In addition, you could experience the delicacies from a small snack bar called the Wave that trades Italian Ices and assorted snacks. There is also the availability of off-road vehicles to drive on particular parts of the shore. However, 4×4 vehicles must have permission. There are no lifeguards at these parts of the beach. Short underground tunnels pave the access to the bridge. Once through the tunnels, beachgoers can reach a boardwalk that faces the beach. On the path stands a construction that provides bathrooms, showers, and a huge food cafeteria called The Beach Hut. You could enjoy Beach Hut’s live music in the evenings seven days a week through the summer months. This cafeteria also presents a vast collection of interesting tropical drinks and a comprehensive menu. In addition, it also emphasizes a wide variety of seafood.

2018.09.15 06:15 TheCommunistOperator An Alternative Viewpoint
Sometime in the future, it was guaranteed that humanity would get fucked. Absolutely fucked by itself, & itself only. You see, this is a world where soviet russia didn’t fully recede into the depths of the internet, but retained a powerful force & formidable foe in the eyes of literally every external opposer.
& to tell one of this, everyone was an enemy of this Union. But it was also no longer called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It was now the Unified Republics of Soviet Eurasia.
The evolution of this superstate was an ideological masterpiece. Generations of planning & thoughts went into the ruling of what is now known as the U.R.S.E. but was originally known as the continent of Eurasia. This continent is a third of the world.
This third of the world was ruled by Neo-Trotskyism & this version of Marxism was contrived from the artistry of abusing the rest of earth with complete abolishment of the Bourgeoisie & creating the full of the Direct Democratic State of the U.R.S.E.. Within this state of Neo-Trotskyism, the state provides the rest of the world with small transactions so as to create a mass-revolution of the proletariat. Currently, the world consists of four united countries:
The American Confederacy, a utilization of the entirety of Northern America and parts of the Central Americas as a barrier from the colonization of the Soviet State, and the make of total mass production, protecting with abusive laws and policies for the enemy of Neo-Trotskyism.
In South America and the final pieces of Caribbean islands as well as the rest of the Central Americas create a singular Superstate under the name The Socialist Southern Germanic Republic. This state was unified after the abolishment of the Fascist Regime of the Third Reich, returning to the origin of the Eurasian Unification in 1941. April 13, 1941 was the first expatriation of the Germanic States of Fascist Germany. Before Hitler could evoke the hatred of the world with the annihilation of the Jewish Peoples, the Soviet Union, at the time ruled by the great soviet leader, Lev Davidovich (Leon Trotsky), invaded Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Finland, & Denmark. This invasion made a heavy loss of roughly 2.2 million men and women. This invasion forced the German peoples of these states off into the western world, while leaving Hitler immortalized in Martyrdom from being annihilated during his endowment of financial power in the Fascist state, To which then took over and dominated the now Socialist southern German Republic, Established February 4, 1942.
Africa and Australia were then united under an associated alliance, but the Alliance was quickly noted to be a warlord ruled pair of continents due to famines and poverties from the lack of trade with the rest of the world. As realized, this state most likely would have difficulty with the other countries, but the sudden reliance on technology made resource extraction difficult in the countries of Africa and the unified state of Australia. Upon these two continents coming together, nothing went wrong but nothing really went well, either. The economies, technology and Population have been and are still stagnant due to them being cut off from trades by hatred of their Council of Warlords from the Communist and Capitalist countries. Fascist state of S.S.G.R. shows minor interest, but they show more so under the influence of invading Africa due to their advanced Technological and Individual abilities..
At the end of the Western Takeover, the events titled as the Soviets stole a section of Europe, and the expatriation of the german peoples, as well as the italians and the polish, the Soviet Union then provided the financial and resource transactions to outwards revolutions within economically depressed countries, as it does in the modern day. The World was at an International standoff, and U.R.S.E. seemed to stand at the top of the food-chain.
But then suddenly, the Antarctic had disappeared and replaced somewhere in the Central Pacific Ocean. How, it was unknown. But there was some technology involved, clearly. & this made the major nations of the world scared, turning the U.R.S.E. to deploy an emergency landing of the Antarctic Continent, now in the Center of the Pacific Ocean. Hundreds of thousands of Airships and Seaships landed ashore and made hasty landings on this island after thorough lookover with the Soviet Stealth Satellites over the pacific (Watching Hawaii for any nuclear launches from The Americas). Invasions with AN-225s, amphibious sea-to-ground APC vehicles and fighter reconnaissance teams from offshore carriers, dropped and settled hundreds of miscellaneous ground troops and basic civilian infantry units to pick up a basic ground retrieval of the location.
But there was something there that wasn’t supposed to be.
On july 25th, 2019, the Unified Republics of Soviet Eurasia discovered the Aliens of Pacifica.
‘Sexahydroma land ground-breach surface expand recfleet see landform thinksee. Unfriend Pacifica new thinksee, report?’
Chapter 1;
Pacifica: The First Invasion
The human race has suddenly found something extraterrestrial. The SU-35s carrying heavy loads of high-heat explosives found a location on the central area of the continent, pulling on the views of a seemingly modern city of some kind. Shiny towers and massive artillery stretching hundreds of metres tall and hundreds of metres wide. Large Anti-air artilleries visibly aimed upwards towards the ships and began unloading high amounts of exothermic tracer rounds, ripping holes and destroying the ships cleanly. A section of the fleet was destroyed, cutting off some couple squadrons. The fleet had arrived on Reconnaissance with twenty-two ships, scanning this sector of the continent. The ships left over were only of 13 of the original. The ships began to fire off Kh-25MLs, the Air-to-ground missiles flying towards the ground-to-air artillery, damaging and seemingly stopping the barrage from those particular battlements. The city seemed to slightly rearrange, a place with an area equivalent to the entirety of New Orleans, New York and San Diego combined.
The ships unloaded thirty-three air-to-ground missiles before things seemed to get interesting.
U.R.S.E. was going on another invasion, and undoubtedly was the rest of the world, too.
The American Confederacy noted the high Eurasian activity in the pacific as well as a sudden position change of a large landmass. The Americas began their advance, launching a small fleet of ships off towards the new landmass, settling with two carriers, Two Zumwalts, nine cruisers, and sixteen battleships. Five submarines followed dalong as multitudes of amphibious, air and ground ships were all prepared for launch. Two C-5M Super Galaxies were sent with a complement of 22 men per plane, an M1 Abrams and 2 M2 Bradleys (per plane, of course). The ships continued to go to the location along with the fleet, followed by their own little fleet of 19 ships to help with any dogfights. Three KT-Stratotankers for refuelling of fighters, eleven F-15E S.E.s, three are Puma AEs, and the last two are A-10C Thunderbolt IIs. these remained on way towards Pacifica, to proceed rais in resources and a raise in defences against the massive power that is the U.R.S.E.
This also includes a man.
Misha Kroshnoshtova wasn’t exactly prepared for a sudden drop on a landform that hadn’t ever been seen outside of the south pole. All in all, the very ideal that such a feat was possible made him shatter in his own mind. He never expected the Unified Republics of Soviet Eurasia to just outright invade an unknown landmass. But, if information was correct, there was rocket bomb contact at headpoint, which was some klicks ahead of himself. He was inside of a T-15 Armata, with an AU-220mm Baikal Remote Controlled Turret instead of the standard 225mm turret. He was, of course, operating the turret over the actual platform, since he prefered the turret over body in general due to the eases of operation from habit.
Turning the turret fifteen degrees right side, he did see the great big city appearing over the mound they managed to cover over. They were four klicks from designated point. IT was terrifying. Massive artillery sat nicely round the city, the place surrounded by anti-Air quad-barrelled cannons, assumedly. And there was the supermassive long-range artillery. There was three of them in visual range of the Armata Platform along, and they were seperated 4 kilometres a piece. The things themselves were stationary artillery, notably inactive but visible light-based alarms were going off, and they must have been at least a hundred fifty metres wide at base and hundred fifty metres tall. The barrels all were Trilevel recoil suppression barrels, with a possible diameter of maybe nine metres. The range logically would be over five hundred kilometres, or more.
They intimidated Misha. But, he had a job to do.
“Shest'sot metrov do dal'nosti!” A voice raged over the radio, screaming that they were near their arming point. The platform only every got closer, before stopping, turning and peaking around the corner. The driver saw before Misha did, screaming out new information.
“Linii formirovaniya protivnika gotovyat ogon'!” Misha rotated the turret 38 degrees left-side of the tank, pointing the barrel towards the lines of soon to be engaged enemies. Troops of an unknown like made up the lines far ahead of them, seemingly all shiny and dull. Like they were made out of steel supported plastic suits. Shouldn’t be too hard.
“Ogon'!” A crew member screamed, “Ognennaya artilleriya!”
The cannon began the booming, ear shattering sounds of the slow gunfire of the cannon. The massive artillery fire knocking down several infantry, making the rest of the enemy forces begin to flee behind cover, such as odd little cars and inside little shops and stuff of the like. Two T-14 Armatas roll behind the T-15 armata Misha was in, firing 225mm rounds at the buildings every few seconds, while occasionally raining machine gun fire on the infantry behind the low-level shielding of the surrounding streets. A hissing was audible over the radio, and a radio controlled bomb had been thrown to the tank. A detonation and the whole turret was literally blown to a 45 degree angle, misha forced backwards and only suffering some bruising to the back and skull, pus some scratches and cuts from the force and fragments of the detonation. Whatever the explosive was, it was clearly powerful.
Clearly nothing of human creation. Because the Soviets knew all explosives on earth, and they had the strongest mines and grenades of this era. That meant these things were more intelligent than the Soviet Workers Union of Military Research. Whatever they were, they needed to be fucking destroyed.
“Amerikantsy vysazhivayutsya na vostochnyye berega, gotovyatsya k dvukhstoronnemu ognyu!”
‘The Americans have landed on the eastern shores, prepare for two way fire.’ That is bad, because these guys already were advanced. The numbers of Americans and aliens being a threeway war will be overwhelming.
So fucking overwhelming.
