Ocean Bay Park lies between Seaview and Point O Woods. If Ocean Beach is the Manhattan of Fire Island and Seaview is its tony suburbs, Ocean Bay Park is its Brooklyn. Known for its relaxed and laid back environment, the community prides itself on its freedom from the restrictions, village taxes and homeowners association dues that come with the territory in neighboring communities. Formerly a haven for sharehouses and the occasional raucous party, Ocean Bay Park has been undergoing a radical transformation in recent years. Much like in gentrifying Brooklyn, families are buying up beat up bungalows and pouring capital into renovations and new home builds everywhere you look. Ocean Bay Park is also particularly attractive to buyers of investment properties because the areas low taxes keep carrying costs down. Additionally, Ocean Bay Park is subject to the Town of Brookhaven zoning code which is more permissive than the neighboring township of Islips rules. The standard lot size in Ocean Bay Park is 50 X 100.
Direct ferry service from Bay Shore lands you in the heart of the Ocean Bay Park commercial district, which gives off a bohemian and breezy vibe. In town, experience bay front dining at Schooners and Flynns, a pizza parlor, ice cream shop, bagel store & deli, grocery store, and a bicycle rental shop. Head down Cayuga Street towards the beach and youre at the Fire Island Hotel, where you can grab a bite to eat at Hurricanes Bar & Grill or hang out by the pool. Relaxation is paramount in Ocean Bay Park, so make sure you hit the beach. Head over for the 4th of July to enjoy the Fire Department sponsored BBQ or the third week of August to experience the annual Gourmet Fair, which showcases food from local businesses and homeowners. Whether you are looking to buy, rent or day trip, Ocean Bay Park welcomes all!
