If you are passionate about preserving beach access and promoting environmental stewardship on Long Island, look no further than our Long Island Beach Buggy Association.


Our community organization has served Long Island for 65 years. With a guiding star set of bylaws, a team of dedicated committee members work tirelessly to influence local policy and keep 4x4 beach access available to Long Islanders.


But Libba is more than just a beach access organization - we also host scholarship programs, Casting for Recovery, veteran programs, fishing clinics, fishing contests, beach courtesy patrols, beach clean-ups, beach driving classes and beach replenishment projects.


We partner with local state, county and town agents to collaborate on environmental topics.

Join our movement and become part of a respected community committed to preserving Long Island's beach access for generations to come.
