A trip to Wantagh on the Long Island Railroad takes you into a town with historic relevance dating as far as George Washington's Long Island tour. Before the American Revolution and indeed European settlements in the area, the Merokee inhabited the area. History establishes the Jackson and Seaman families as some of the oldest settlers, and their names are still associated with landmarks throughout the town. 

Wantagh is commonly known as "The Gateway to Jones Beach." Although the area focused mainly on farming until the early 20th century, two events marked its deviation from a rural community. Sunrise Highway and Jones Beach's construction solidified the town as a tourist destination and a viable suburban option. The culmination of the Long Island Railroad project in 1968 added connectivity to those searching for a home in Wantagh.

Jones Beach State Park is well-known to many, and for a good reason. Just south of Wantagh, it is miles of white sandy beaches, a boardwalk, restaurants, swimming pools, and countless entertainment options. The Jones Beach Theater also draws visitors looking for artistic performances, as do the roller-skating rink, playground, and sports fields. Arriving by car is simple, as is biking on the trail adjacent to Wantagh Parkway. A little over four miles long, cyclists can enjoy the path and safely stow their bikes on the available bike racks while they explore the Park.
