In theory, yes there is public transportation. Check the Long Island Railroad section of this MTA website: http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/.

Yep. I'll be taking the LIRR from Manhattan to Freeport, then there's a bus that goes to Jones Beach. Does anyone happen to know if there's any cheaper hotels or hostels within walking distance to the Freeport station, or perhaps near Jones Beach itself? I'm thinking since I'll already be out on Long Island that night I might as well just crash there and take the train back into the city the next morning, but I've never been out there before.
