Long Beach is a city in Nassau County Long Island, New York on a barrier island off the South Shore. It shares the island with Atlantic Beach to the west and Lido Beach and Point Lookout to the east. The city was incorporated in 1922, and is nicknamed The City By the Sea. The City of Long Beach is surrounded by the Town of Hempstead.

Lido Beach is a tiny barrier island community (population less than 6000 residents) between Long Beach and Point Lookout, just off Long Island's southern shore. It is perfect for those dreaming of a place where every home is near the water. There is essentially one main road, the Lido Boulevard, that runs through it separating the neighborhoods on the Atlantic Ocean from the houses on the Reynold Channel. On either side are houses and parks including the Nassau Beach Park and the Lido Beach Golf Course.

Atlantic Beach is a village in Nassau County, New York on a barrier island off the South Shore of Long Island. The village population is less than 2500 people. The Village of Atlantic Beach is in the Town of Hempstead. Many films have been shot in this picturesque area. This exclusive area is very close to Manhattan and Queens.

Point Lookout is a hamlet located in the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County, New York. The population is just under 1500. Marlene Dietrich and Charles Atlas had homes at Point Lookout. What makes this community special is its small town ambiance. There is no mail delivery, an arrangement that creates a sense of community, as residents tend to meet at the post office. Activities in Point Lookout focus on the water: kayaking, Jet-Skiing, canoeing, fishing, power-boating and sailing. There are two public marinas, with boats available for rent or charter. All of its beaches are private. There are lovely restaurants, several with spectacular views, right on the water.
