Letter
from the Mayor and Board of Trustees,
Welcome to the Website of the glorious Village of Ocean Beach,
the unofficial capital of the half mile wide by 32 mile long
barrier beach of Fire Island, just five miles south of Long
Island, New York. This Website enables you to research information
about a Village that is a tranquil retreat during Spring, Fall
and Winter, and dynamically alive with people and activities
during the summer.
We
have it all - beautiful supervised ocean and bay beaches,
lovely one family homes, restaurants, hotels, bed & breakfasts,
nightlife, movies, concerts, youth group, tennis, basketball,
baseball, art shows, an international film festival, Memorial
Day and July 4th parades and celebrations, dock concert performances,
boutiques and shops, ferry and water taxi services, a seasonal
and transient boat marina, medical and nursing services, a
post office, little red wagons and bicycles. And in the summer,
there are no cars!
The Village
of Ocean Beach functions through a Mayor and Board of Trustees,
a Village Office, a Justice Court, a Police Department, a
volunteer Fire and Emergency Medical Department, a Water and
Sewer Plant, and a first class contingent of lifeguards.
From time
to time, this Website will update you on our various meetings,
laws, regulations, and will highlight upcoming feature arts
and entertainment events. We hope to create as much excitement
in the Website as we actually generate in the Village when
it's aglow with happy energetic people enjoying the sun, sand,
sea and sky from the wave-crested Atlantic Ocean to the serene
Great South Bay.
