As its name implies, this town is on the ocean, on the Atlantic Ocean to be more precise. Oceanside is located on the South shore of Long Island just a few miles from greater New York City and an easy commute to Manhattan.

Oceanside is graced with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Steeped in American history, the Oceanside is the heart of Long Island's major cultural and sporting centers, and is also a beach-lovers haven, with miles of ocean beaches.

Oceanside offers the excitement of seeing a NHL hockey game at the Nassau Coliseum, Triple Crown thoroughbred racing a Belmont Park, and star-studded concerts at the Westbury Music Fair and Jones Beach open air theater.

This region of the Island retains the character of years gone by, and much has been preserved-parts dating back to colonial times, the Revolutionary War era and the earliest days of the nation.

Winter is a time of striking beauty and tranquility that invites thrilling activities such as snowmobiling, skiing and ice fishing, or the cozy relaxation of enjoying a good book by a fireplace.

And the great outdoors is only a part of the charm that makes Oceanside a great place to live! Other interests and activities that will capture your spirit are the many fine restaurants, museums and shopping outlets.

Today Oceanside has shopping centers, fine dining, and several parks dotted along the ocean shore, there you'll find picnic areas, marinas and boats for rent. The Atlantic Ocean offers many opportunities to get out and do a range of water activities. Fishing, deep-sea fishing, diving or just dabbling your toes in the ocean are some of the things available.

Oceanside sounds just like a paradise - the name "Island" conjures up a certain picture in a person's imagination, and Oceanside not only meets that picture, it exceeds it! Oceanside has the best of everything - great commute near the Big Apple, wonderful schools and the peace and quiet of a beach town that just can't be beat!
