Great place for escapism and relaxation. Only beach on Long Island (so far) that I love. Clear water, is rocky but manageable. There was beautiful graffiti on the walls but they keeping removing it. Always a pleasure coming here.

Shame they dont break the stars out=it would give them 3.5. nice enough for what it is, we went to the water & not to the abandoned buildings. since heard that side was much more interesting. one of the problems is that there is NO signage to direct you. large area with the Holocaust Museum in the middle. seems like a walking place, lot of hikers/walkers & dogs. next time perhaps we will try the other side & see the abandoned buildinns & the graffiti...

It’s a small little beach, good place to see the sunset. The beach has many rocks and even though it says no fishing there are many people fishing there. There’s an abandoned graffiti house and I haven’t been further out than that so I’m not sure about the walking trails. The trails usually lead out to the big road that leads to the beach. There is also a small little plaza like area that is beautiful with flowers and a small little stadium

Very beautiful preserve that you can tell is very old; it gives it that deep nature feel. Read up on the history too, very interesting. The trails were not very well maintained which is fine, but I have a problem when there are no trail markings. It was just by chance that I was able to find the abandoned greenhouse and the way back to my car. I came across a small stream, algae covered pond, interesting graffiti on trees, and a part of the Long Island Sound. Overall a very good preserve, just expect uneven and covered trails with overgrown brush.

Nice trails in nature but not taken care well. Free and easy parking, beautiful garden, worth going.

Really nice trails and a beautiful, small pebble beach overlooking the LI Sound near the trail. Welwyn Preserve is worth your time, though pity the trail has some litter due to some unscrupulous visitors. Either way, the trails are nice and the views are worth the visit.Overall 10/10

If you enjoy the in-person experience of exploring historic buildings in a state of dangerous disrepair, covered in graffiti, and littered with trash due to government incompetence — Welwyn “Preserve” is for you.Leave the iPhone and take your best DSLR to capture the beauty of precious wetlands sprinkled with abandoned tires and beer bottles.But wait, there’s more! Enjoy time on a secluded beach composed of deteriorating asphalt and other mixed construction debris. Even if you’re a discerning beachgoer who demands to lay your blanket on only the finest chunks of concrete complete with rebar you won’t be disappointed.With an endless supply of single-use fast-food containers and micro plastics gently pulled in by the waves of Long Island sound, it’s time to forget about all those other disappointing seaside spots you used to frequent.If you’re nostalgic for the Gatsby era of Long Island’s Gold Coast, you won’t find it here.

Beautiful nature trails some cool abandoned buildings, a nice 1-2 hours worth of hiking between the two trails.
