The sand and boardwalk are starting to fill up at Jones Beach.
Traffic heading there on the parkways was light at about 9 a.m. but backed up on Ocean Parkway near the Jones Beach tower and traffic circle.
Parking was still available at most parking fields.
The beach started filling up at 7:30 a.m. with radio stations playing music ahead of the FourLeaf Air Show. Stunt planes and performers including the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, planned to rehearse until 3 p.m.
