Jones Beach is on the ocean side of Long Island. It is an immediately accessible respite for the greater urban community of America’s largest city. The Energy and Nature Center engages visitors in considering the park’s dune and marine life in conjunction with our ability to better support it through smarter uses of energy. Interpretive exhibits built by Moey and designed by AJA Architecture and Tactile Studio, cover 53,500 sf of indoor and outdoor space and include aquaria, touch tanks, an immersive model “smart” home, solar powered interactives, a climbable whale skeleton sculpture, interpreted ADA walking paths, and much more.
