Description
One of the last of the Beach Shacks at West Meadow Beach in Setauket, NY on Trustees Road aka West Meadow Road. There were once many but they were torn down to make habitat for wildlife and to make the town land available for public recreational use. The land was leased to the tenants, who built the homes and bought and sold the leases and homes, a system that many felt did not serve the residents well, Not the stretch of beach for wildlife and nesting birds such as least terns have returned and now Diamondback Terrapin turtles nest in the sand. But this boarded up cottage remains as a memory of idyllic summers past.
