Pine Neck Avenue boat ramp and fishing pier are on the south shore of East Patchogue. Accessible by the [[Swan River (New York)|Swan River]] at the south end of Pine Neck Avenue, this is a main boat access ramp off the Swan River inlet, connecting the Patchogue Bay and Great South Bay, in south central Long Island.

Pine Neck is approximately {{convert|400|yd}} east of the Village of Patchogue, located on the southeastern corner of the Swan River inlet and Patchogue Bay. It is an undeveloped Park in the Township of Brookhaven, Suffolk County. Boaters travel from Blue Point, on the westernmost tip of Patchogue Bay, to Howell's Point, on the eastern side of the bay. Seasonal permits are required for residents to launch their boats. The park can accommodate around 50 cars and trucks.

Pine Neck Avenue Park is on the central shore of Patchogue Bay, and is due north of [[Watch Hill (New York)|Watch Hill]] and [[Davis Park, New York|Davis Park]]. The [[Fire Island National Seashore]] is one of the Barrier Islands and is a recreational destination for many south shore boaters.

The Park offers a natural beach, fishing pier, two boat ramps, and an adjacent undeveloped shoreline called "40 acres". Pine Neck gives residents and visitors alike access and scenic views into Long Island's Great South Bay.
