Marina Docking

About Marina Docking at Cedar & Gilgo

The Town of Babylon Parks Department manages and maintains two marinas, Cedar Beach Marina and Gilgo Beach Marina, for self-contained boats throughout the summer season. All slips are available to Town of Babylon residents only. Residents must obtain a boat docking/launching permit and pay a daily docking fee for day or overnight stays. Permits can be purchased at the Parks & Recreation Office, located at 151 Phelps Lane in North Babylon.

Boat slips at Cedar Beach Marina may be reserved online for a 3-night stay (Friday to Monday) between Memorial Day and Columbus Day each year. Slips at Gilgo Beach Marina, as well as any unreserved slips at Cedar, are available to transient boaters on a first-come, first-served basis.
