The southeastern area of Wantagh park consists mainly of a large boating marina and a launch ramp.

The swimming complex, which charges a fee, features four pools- Olympic-sized, diving, training and "kiddie".

Showers, lockers, concession stands, and lounge and deck chairs are widely available.

Flowers are dropped in the water and the boats sound their horns acknowledging the blessing.
