The coastal village of Lindenhurst is located along Oyster Bay in Long Island, directly across the bay from some of New York's most popular beaches: Cedar Beach, Gilgo State Park, and Robert Moses State Park. Fire Island National Seashore and Long Beach are also near Lindenhurst. Situated in the town of Babylon, Lindenhurst was founded in 1873. The downtown shopping district is filled with charming, historic architecture. The village has been home many famous residents, including game show host Jack Barry, rock star Pat Benatar, talk show host Joy Behar, and director Hal Hartley.
Residents enjoy a terrific community filled with beautiful parks. Venetian Shores Park, located on the bay, has a residents-only beach for swimming, an interactive spray park, a playground, and picnic areas. Other nearby parks include Shore Road Park, Copiague Neck County Park, Bergen Point County Park, Great East Neck, and the Bergen Point Golf Course. While this idyllic seaside retreat feels miles away from the busy city, it is just 40 miles east of Manhattan with the Long Island Rail Road providing service from the Lindenhurst Station, located off East Hoffman Avenue near the intersection with South Pennsylvania Avenue.
