In front of that turnoff, the westbound lanes pass two ramps that lead to a large parking lot that spans the gap between the Ocean and Bay parkways.

Passing multiple u-turn ramps between directions, the parkway soon leaves Jones Beach State Park and enters a piece of the town of Oyster Bay.

[3] A short distance from the bathhouse, the Ocean Parkway leaves Tobay Beach Park and enters Suffolk County and the Town of Babylon.

Entering the hamlet of West Gilgo Beach, the parkway runs alongside many beachfront residences, with an intersection from the westbound lanes to the community.

A short distance into the park, the Ocean Parkway enters a cloverleaf interchange with the Robert Moses Causeway.

On the other side of the tollbooths, the right-of-way enters another roundabout and connects to another beach and the local marina in Captree State Park.

[3] Originally, there had been plans to extend the parkway to nearby Fire Island, and two attempts were made to authorize construction.

[15][16][17] The Greenway connects into mainland Long Island via the Ellen Farrant Shared-Use Path alongside the Wantagh State Parkway terminating in Seaford's Cedar Creek Park.
