A half a mile north of the beach, overlooking Zach's Bay, is the 15,200-seat Nikon at Jones Beach Theater. This outdoor amphitheatre opened in 1952 and hosts numerous world famous musicians during the summer months. It is directly across the street from the ocean and is outdoors in an open natural environment.

Since 2004, Jones Beach has hosted the New York Air Show during the last weekend of May (Memorial Day weekend). The air show is one of the largest in the United States, hosting 403,000 people over two days during the 2006 show.
