We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Mercadante Beach yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Dog-friendly public park with an area for meditation and a restroom.

Beautiful view of sunset. Even the reflection on the houses along the hill is phenomenal. Worth watching. There is a ledge for boats but one can walk over to get a good view. Water is not smelly as it constantly moving from the Atlantic Ocean. Recommend you to be careful as you get to the view points.
Visited the beach on sunny weekend in early spring. Beautiful views of Hempstead Harbor. Recently constructed path along Glen Cove Creek was highlight of the visit. Quite popular with visitors given lots of condominiums in the area.
Very peaceful part of Glen Cove with a beautiful view of Sea Cliff. Nice walking path along the water and can be found at the end of Garvies Point road. Nice place to take a stroll with some beautiful views.
Very beautiful and clean. Great spot for fishing and for walks and jogging.
