LONG BEACH

Summer just doesn’t seem to be able to get out of the starting gate this year. Hoodies and long pants have been the outÀt for Spring 2017. If you’re like us, you yearn for a day when you can walk the beach in bare feet without your toes going numb.

Just the anticipation of summer quickens the pace here on the barrier island. All over town, people are sprucing up homes and businesses for our favorite time Clifford of year. Can the hordes of beachgoers be far behind?

Richner The city continues to grow and prosper in 2017 as Superstorm Sandy slowly recedes in our collective rear-view mirror. Almost all of our friends and neighbors have returned to their homes — many of which are now up on stilts. Our hearts go out to the unfortunate few who are still navigating their way home through the swamp of red tape the storm left in its wake.

Last summer saw the debut of food concession stands on the boardwalk which were popular new additions. Social Bikes are back as well, another wonderful new amenity. The city celebrated Earth Day last month by adopting a law requiring stores to charge for paper Stuart and plastic bags — and by handing out lots of free, Richner environmentally friendly, reusable bags. And June is slated to bring the Long Island LGBT Pride Festival to Long Beach for the Àrst time in its 27-year history, featuring a parade and a concert headlined by pop star Rachel Platten.

Add to that the usual array of surÀng and volleyball tournaments, street fairs on the boardwalk, movies on the beach and Arts in the Plaza (not to mention the farmers’ market) and summer in Long Beach is back.

• • • Memorial Day marks the ofÀcial start of the beach season and the unofÀcial start of summer. Those of us with sand in our shoes look forward to the respite of long, lazy summer days as we return to our beloved ocean and beach.

Long Beach is a great place to live 52 weeks a year, but summer is its time to shine. A look through this year’s Guide reveals just how jam-packed with activities this summer will be. We have tried to make this, our 27th edition of the Guide, the most complete source of information about Civitas Ad Mare, the City by the Sea, and the adjoining communities of East Atlantic Beach, Lido Beach and Point Lookout.

The Long Beach Guide is a special publication of the Long Beach Herald, the hometown newspaper of the barrier island. The Guide is published in cooperation with the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce, and we are honored to mark another year as the ofÀcial publication of the chamber.

We hope you Ànd this issue of the Guide useful and informative, and that you enjoy reading the Long Beach Herald 52 weeks a year. Have a great summer, and we’ll see you on the beach!

g n i t c e t o r P the barrier island

Christina Daly/Herald

People gathered on the boardwalk at Riverside Boulevard in April to watch crews rebuilding a jetty.

T

he Army Corps of Engineers began work on a coastal protection project in Long Beach in March, and work on 15 jetties is expected to be completed next year.

City officials emphasized that all beaches will be open this summer, though certain sections near the work sites will be closed during construction. Stone deliveries and work begins at 7 a.m. and typically ends between 3 and 3:30 p.m., but will not take place on the weekends during the summer beginning Memorial Day. Hurricane Sandy decimated the city’s shoreline — the beach lost 294,000 cubic yards of sand — and officials say that the $230 million project is crucial.

It includes the rehabilitation of 17 existing jetties, or groins, across the barrier island and construction of four new ones, to be followed by the addition of roughly 4.7 million cubic yards of sand for a system of berms and dunes along 35,000 feet of shoreline.

The berm, dune and groin system is designed to protect seven of the nine miles of public shoreline between Jones Inlet and East Rockaway Inlet — from the east end of Point Lookout to Nevada Avenue in Long Beach — from a 100-year storm. The project will taper off in East Atlantic Beach.

Two groins will be under construction at a time; each groin will take about a month to complete, and sections of the beach will fully reopen as construction moves along, officials said. Work would move simultaneously from the east and west.

Work on two groins, one opposite Edwards Boulevard beach and another opposite Riverside Boulevard, began in late March and was expected

to be completed by May 15. Work on the next pair of jetties, located at New York Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard, was set to begin on May 16 and be completed on June 28.

City officials said that the city convinced the Army Corps to do work on the groins at or near the two staging areas, at New York Avenue and Neptune Boulevard, after Memorial Day to avoid hauling rocks across the beach and reduce the impact on the busy summer season. As a result, the fencing that the Army Corps installed across the beach will temporarily be removed.

For safety reasons, officials urged residents and beachgoers to stay away from the rock piles and construction areas. Visit longbeachny.gov for updates.

NYSEA’s Surf Week July 12-16

living in Long Beach Long Beach is, without a doubt, the crown jewel of the South Shore, a unique be beach community that boasts a wide range of entertainment and recreational activities, everything from surfing and beach volleyball to dining and nightlife.

Throughout the year, Long Beach has something for everyone, and it’s no surprise that the city of approximately 33,000 residents appears on numerous “Best Of” lists.

Long Beach is home to several professional surfers, including Will and Cliff Skudin, Balaram Stack and TJ Gumiela; a light heavyweight boxing champion, S S Seanie Monaghan; newly-minted National Hockey League player and Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy; and members the of rock band Taking Back Sunday, d to t name a few. It is also the hometown of actor Billy Crystal and musician Joan Jett.

With five miles of beautiful beaches, why go to the Hamptons?

Long Beach has made a tremendous comeback since Hurricane Sandy — there a numerous restaurants and bars throughout the city, as well as shops and trendy are clothing boutiques, four surf shops and two hotels. From the East End to the West c E Long Beach offers so many fun options to grab a bite or dance the night away.

End, Of course, Long Beach has a new, 2.2-mile boardwalk, and residents and visitors aalike can enjoy many amenities such as food trucks and boardwalk concessions offering a wider variety of food options; a trapeze school; two surf schools and volleyball leagues; the Hurley Surf Center; a number of refurbished children’s parks; live li concerts on the beach, and much more. Social Bikes is returning as well, as are bbeach movie nights, Arts in the Plaza and so much more.

Long Beach residents are deeply involved in their community, whether it’s politics, ti the environment or the schools. The city’s residents continue to give back to their th hometown, whether through beach and canal cleanups, rebuilding efforts, or boardwalk races to support displaced storm victims or wounded military serviceb men m and women.

Each year, thousands dash into the frigid waters with the Long Beach Polar Bears for f the Make-A-Wish Foundation, while the local Mustaches for Kids crew grows mustaches to raise money to help fight pediatric cancer. And, of course, there is the m annual Michelle O’Neill Volleyball Tournament, one of the most popular events of a the th year.

So grab a board and ride a wave, fly through the air on a trapeze overlooking the ocean, go for a bike ride, take in the sights while stand-up paddleboarding, fishing or kayaking. Long Beach is an ideal recreational getaway that’s close to home.

BASIC RULES

Beach

OF THE

Christina Daly/Herald

• Smoking is no longer permitted on the beach, boardwalk, parks and other recreational areas in the city. Anyone observed smoking by police or summer special officers may be given a warning or issued a summons and fine ranging from $50 to $500. The smoking ban applies to cigarettes, cigars and pipes. It also applies to electronic cigarettes, vaping and any device that creates aerosol or vapor. Smoking areas are still available in parking lots and areas off the beach and the boardwalk.

• Beaches close at 6 p.m. Swimming is prohibited when lifeguards are not on duty!

• People are not permitted on the beach between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.

• Learn to swim and never swim alone.

• Only swim when lifeguards are on duty.

• Lifeguards are on duty, weather permitting, from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. weekends only from May 26-June 18 (including Memorial Day Monday), and daily from June 24-Sept.4. Beach passes are required when lifeguards are on duty.

• Always go to the beach with an adult, and swim in front of the lifeguard between the green flags that define the swimming area.

• If you are in trouble, call out for help and wave your arms above your head. Do not panic.

• Do not hesitate to call a lifeguard for help in any medical situation on the sand or in the water.

• Stay off the rock jetties and never swim near them.

• Check water conditions with lifeguards for undercurrents or sandbars. Both can be dangerous.

• Report dangerous situations to a lifeguard.

• Check the depth of underwater surface by jumping or walking, not diving head-first!

• Do not attempt to make any rescue yourself. Get a lifeguard — they are trained to do the job. Do not interfere with lifeguards making a rescue.

• When you hear the whistle, look at the lifeguard chair. They may want your attention.

• Surfing is permitted on specific beaches. Visit longbeachny.gov/beach for surfing, concert and event schedules.

And Action! The sixth annual Long Beach International Film Festival will take place August 1-4, with four days of film screenings, industry celebrations and sophisticated culinary events will be held on Long Beach’s pristine, popular beachfront and at local theaters.

The unique, beachfront film festival will screen a diverse lineup of more than 70 films. Professional and amateur filmmakers will compete for a series of Jury, Festival Honors and Audience Awards throughout the festival. Now in its 6th season, the festival is expected to attract more than 6,000 attendees and generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in local economic activity.

The LBIFF premiered in 2012 with just 50 submissions

and showcased 12 films with free screenings on the beach.

After Hurricane Sandy hit in 2012, the LBIFF had just finished its inaugural year and was threatened to collapse before ever fully taking off. Aided by a $20,000 grant from Nassau County, and participation from local celebrity stars like Daniel Baldwin and resilient festival founders.

“Whether you’re a film fanatic, foodie, filmmaker, cast member, crew member or music enthusiast, there is something for everyone to enjoy at this year’s LBIFF,” said LBIFF co-founder Craig Weintraub.

SVS Fine Jewelry featuring Forevermark Diamond is back on board as a presenting sponsor this year, with plans to expand its creative and charitable giving.

Last year, SVS held the Bling and

Bubbly Experience during the festival and raised $4,000 for the Surf For All foundation.

On Aug. 4, the festival will feature a fantastic roster of local and nationally recognized musical talent performing beachfront at the Allegria Hotel. In addition, the wildly popular, premier culinary event, Taste On The Beach, will return and feature tastings from more than 40 of Long Island’s renowned restaurants, distilleries, wineries and more.

After the concerts and foodie festivities conclude, attendees will once again be invited into a custom-built movie theatre on the beach for the Shorts on the Beach Film Series, which will exhibit short films from around the world. The beach concerts and films shown on the beach are free and open to the public.

Long Beach is known for having some of the best breaks and, in 2011, the city hosted the Quiksilver Pro New York — the first Association of Surfing Professionals world tour event ever held on the East Coast.

Long Beach has long been a town with a rich surfing culture and active surf community, and throughout the year, there are numerous events and professional surfing contests that attract hundreds of spectators to the city, such as the Unsound Pro and NYSEA’s annual Surf Week.

The surfing community is also well known for its environmental advocacy and numerous fundraisers,

whether it’s beach and canal cleanups organized by the Surfrider Foundation or the Long Beach Surfers’ Association, surf outings for kids and adults with developmental disabilities by the non-profit Surf for All, or Unsound Surf Shop’s annual art show in June that raises money for local organizations.

And, of course, with two surf schools in the city — Skudin Surf and Surf2Live — kids and adults alike can grab a board and learn how to ride a wave, or simply get involved and experience the community’s Aloha spirit!

A fundraiser for Surf for All, a nonprofit organization that provides the surfing experience to individuals with disabilities, was held at Piecraft Pizza Bar on April 22. Sam Pinto, clockwise from left, came out to support the cause with Gerry Snell, organizer Cliff Skudin, State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, Ellen Kaminsky, Jeanine Sorensen, Jean O’Doherty, Kerry Ann Troy, Heather Halpern, Adam Halpern and Dylan Hronec, better known as the "Surfing Samurai."

SURF FOR ALL Surf For All is a non-for-profit volunteer charity organization based in Long Beach. They are dedicated to assisting individuals and having them get into the ocean in order for them to experience the joy of surfing as well as maximizing their full potential.

They offer weekly lessons at no cost for all students ages five to 20 during the summer special education program.

The surfing program was founded originally in 2002 with the idea being to develop a surf program for developmentally disabled teenagers. Over the years Surf for All has expanded their outings to cover a broader spectrum of disabilities including autism, cerebral palsy, global developmental delays, visual impairment and more. They also provide programs for the economically disadvantaged and lessons and support for our military heroes and their families with the help from the Long Beach Waterfront Warriors. According to their website they “believe the ocean is a source of healing and spiritual strength that should be accessible to all.”

For more information visit their website at www.surfforall.org.

SURFER’S WAY This Long Beach based volunteer, non-profit organization located at 830 East Chester Street is designed to offer and encourage children with special needs opportunities to experience the trill of surfing. They offer free surf outings in the summer at Riverside Beach providing a fun, safe, monumental surfing experience for every child.

he dining options in Long Beach are limitless, whether it’s a view of the Atlantic Ocean at the posh Allegria Hotel or grabbing some good ol’ barbecue at Swingbellys in the bustling West End. This summer, there will be a wider variety of food concessions along the beach and boardwalk than ever before, providing residents and visitors with an abundance of choices in convenient locations. The food truck court at Riverside Boulevard — The Shoregasboard — will return, along with the stationary and mobile carts on the beach and boardwalk.

Whether you’re craving a taco, a stacked sandwich or some ice cream to cool off after a long day at the beach, there are plenty of dining options available along the

boardwalk and around the city.

This year will see the return of four comfort stations selling a variety of meal and snack options at Grand, National, Edwards and Lincoln boulevards, as well as the state-of-the-art Hurley Surf Center — and Skudin Surf Shack — at Riverside Boulevard.

The comfort stations will be open from Memorial Day and beyond Labor Day, and sample menus can be found at www.

LongBeachLife.com. The food truck court will see the return of local businesses such as New York ACAI, Sugo Café and Lido Kosher Deli, Don Juan Taco and Poseidon’s Kitchen, as well as new additions this year that include Taqueira, Snowie and Surf Steaks.

Looking Toward the Future

T

he Department of Economic Development and Planning’s mission is to encourage economic sustainability and growth in the City of Long Beach by supporting local businesses and attracting new ones, creating jobs, as well as improving the city’s overall quality of life through the integration of resiliency into policy and practice.

The department seeks out funding for the city in support of this mission. Created in 2013, the department is responsible for economic development in support of the business community, the Long Beach Local Development Corporation, many city grants, and support for the newly formed arts council.

The department is also responsible for planning initiative and works on environmental issues such as remediating brownfields, protection of the Lloyd Aquifer as well as transportation issues such as implementing complete streets policies, which include the creation of bike lanes to foster a healthier, safer and less auto dependent community.

Economic Development works on several initiatives to help local businesses and residents and works closely with the Chamber of Commerce. Some of the major initiatives over the past year have included new grants for the city, focusing on business seminars, support for the expansion of the coworking business, the expansion of a bike share program, and the update to the Comprehensive Plan.

The department also launched the Long Beach Local View video series, which spotlights local businesses by creating customized videos. Visit the city’s official Facebook page or www.longbeachlife.com to view the segments.

Economic Development and Planning also provides a business support seminar series. The main goals of these seminars are to: • Aid local businesses; • Learn about available support with one-on-one advice from experts in specific fields; • Share innovative ideas;

Courtesy City of Long Beach

Long Beach’s Department of Economic Development launched a number of initiatives aimed at supporting local businesses, improving the city’s shopping districts and attracting visitors to Long Beach.

• Use innovative ways to leverage technology for success; • Network with fellow Long Beach business owners.

Previous seminar topics have included: grant information, small business development, loans, energy audits, technology integration, marketing and events. The outcomes of these seminars include an increase in online presence, applying for grant funding, and collaborative partnerships.

The department maintains an email list of Long Beach businesses to provide them with updates on valuable information going on in the city. If you would like your business to be added, please email EconomicDevelopment@longbeachny.gov In 2015, the city partnered with Social Bicycles to bring a new bike share program to Long Beach. In its first season, SoBi had more than 9,000 members sign up, which was

the fastest uptake of any system in the country! Bike rack locations were strategically placed around the city, with several on the boardwalk as that is the most preferred recreational bike route during the summer season. Due to its popularity, SoBi doubled its fleet in 2016.

SoBi will be back for its third season this Memorial Day weekend, with expanded locations.

The city was awarded state funding to update its Comprehensive Plan, which is being implemented to include long- and short-term recommendations such as economic sustainability and environmental resiliency, focusing on downtown revitalization and transit-oriented development opportunities, affordable housing, transportation, art and culture, and more.

The district also offers a pre-Kindergarten program and an Adult Learning Center that provides resources for adults and families in the community.

The district is focused on educating the “whole child” through the combination of a rigorous academic program, social and emotional growth initiatives and extensive extra-curricular opportunities.

Each year, students excel in academics, the arts and athletics, achieving regional, state and national recognitions. The schools maintain a close connection to the community and encourage involvement in the world beyond the classrooms.

The high school is an International Baccalaureate World School, offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, and in 2015, the middle school became Nassau County’s first authorized IB Middle Years Program school. At the elementary level, IB Learner Profile principles are highlighted through the SPIRIT program. The number of IB Diploma candidates has grown each year and approximately 61 students are completing the full program in the Class of 2017.

The schools integrate literacy and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) throughout the curriculum in order to prepare students for success. Upgraded school facilities, such as libraries and science labs support these efforts, as do ubiqui-

Long Beach High School’s auditorium stage was the setting for fancy formalwear on Jan. 31, when students stepped on stage as models in the Morning Madness Fashion Show. The annual fundraiser, organized by the Parent Teacher Student Association, is in its 26th year and supports the substance-free Morning Madness post-prom celebration.

Morning Madness provides a safe and festive opportunity for seniors to enjoy the final hours of their prom night together at Dave & Buster’s in Westbury. Every year, students look forward to entering raffles that have become known to provide extraordinary prizes.

The fashion show was a collaborative effort that involved many classes, clubs, departments and staff members in the district. From fashion details to technological

features and behind-the-scenes set-up, members of the Long Beach Public Schools and community came together to present another memorable, five-star event.

Members of the high school’s National Honor Society assisted volunteers from the PTSA and Morning Madness Committee. DollFace Cosmetics and Bonnie Stern from Mary Kay helped to get the students runway-ready, Maria Perrone worked with them on choreography and Adriane Glassberg served as model coordinator. The jazz band, under the direction of Marino Bragino, presented musical entertainment in the commons as guests entered the building. Brixx & Barley provided food for the students.

Masters of ceremonies Kristen Abbott, Peter Mcquade, Sean Reilly and Bridget Van Well announced the models and described their

attire. Gowns and tuxedos were provided courtesy of Sniders Formal Wear of Oceanside, Bridal Reflections of Massapequa and Carle Place and the Dessy Group of New York City.

The event is just one of the many efforts that the PTSA coordinates to make Morning Madness possible, and the group is still working toward its goal. Anyone interested in becoming a sponsor or making a donation can contact Morning Madness Committee Co-Chair AnnMarie Scandole at amscandole@optonline.net.

Long Beach High School student and 2016 national wrestling champion Jacori Teemer served as this year’s grand marshal in the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Commemorative March and Celebration in January.

He is considered one of the most accomplished high school wrestlers in Long Island history, and was the 132-pound champion in the Eastern States Classic.

T

he Long Beach Martin Luther King Center Inc. is a grassroots community organization dedicated to improving the health, educational attainment, human welfare and opportunities for youth, adults and families in Long Beach.

The Long Beach Martin Luther King Center Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charitable tax-exempt organization serving children, individuals and families in the City of Long Beach, and greater Nassau County, since 1998.

Designated as the hub of the North Park residential area, the MLK Center is committed to develop innovative programming and maintaining and improving the well-being of youth, adults and seniors.

The MLK Center traces its origins to 1967, when local African American community organizers began to develop an institution they could call their own. In 1981, completion of the MLK Community Center occurred simultaneously with the development of new MLK Center programs. For more than 40 years, the total programming package of the MLK Center has been a mixture of community activism, urban culture, traditional southern experience, and the traditional experiences of Caribbean American, Hispanic and Central American immigrants who have become a growing part of the North Park community.

Long Beach — taking steps to protect the environment

Kristie Arden/Herald

Shopper Dawn Russo, left, brought her reusable bag with her to Key Food in the East End on April 25, and was greeted by employee Mia Figueroa.

Long Beach businesses began charging 5 cents for each carryout bag that shoppers use in April, thanks to a new city ordinance aimed at reducing the negative environmental and economic impacts of single-use plastic and paper bags.

Long Beach is the first municipality in Nassau County to implement such a fee. Plastic and paper bag waste contributes to, and hinders the ability to protect against, climate change and rising sea levels, officials said, adding that it is also a quality-of-life issue, because bags not only blow around the city and into trees, but also block storm drains and exacerbate flooding.

Following a seven-month public education effort, the roll-out of the new law coincided with a number of Earth Day events to raise awareness of the measure and to encourage shoppers to pick up, and use, free reusable bags.

points of sale to inform customers.

• Businesses may devise alternatives for food delivery, such as cardboard boxes or insulated delivery bags.

What to know about the new law

How will it be enforced?

• On April 22, all businesses began charging a minimum fee of 5 cents for each carryout, single-use bag made of plastic, paper or reusable material — thicker plastic or cloth — encouraging shoppers to bring reusable bags.

• All fees collected will be retained by the businesses — the city will not keep any portion of the fee.

• All businesses are encouraged to post signs at or near

• Like most city ordinances, enforcement will made in response to complaints to the city. City officials said they would continue to work with the Chamber of Commerce and local businesses to ensure that they are aware of the ordinance.

What’s exempt?

• The fee does not apply to bags without handles that are used to carry produce, meat, loose baked goods, dry-cleaning, newspapers, liquor, flowers or other non-prepackaged food items, or those provided by a doctor, pharmacist or veterinarian for prescription drugs.

• Bags will be free for customers using the New York State Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.

• Customers using bags of any kind that they have brought with them will not be charged.

Seniors participating in Lisa Wisel's Balance Booster class

The City of Long Beach supports one of the most dynamic and active senior centers on Long Island.

Located on the second floor of the Magnolia Senior/ Community Center, participants are provided with a modern and cheerful setting where they can engage in stimulating wellness, cultural, educational and recreational programs.

Our exercise instructors are certified professionals who offer programs of varying degrees of difficulty. You can choose from aerobics, yoga, line dancing, stretch and tone, and Latin movement. We offer three levels of intensity to accommodate seniors of all ages and physical condition. It is recommended that before starting an exercise program, participants get clearance from their physician.

The Magnolia Senior Center is also a place to keep your hands and mind active with sculpture, painting, theatre groups, film appreciation and many other programs. Game day is held 4 days a week and on these days seniors can meet for a few hours and exercise their brains with games such as MahJong and Canasta.

Each month, there are a variety of different arts and crafts classes that range from beginner levels to more advanced ones. You can choose from acrylic or watercolor painting classes, jewelry making, knitting, and the list goes on.

Check out the monthly calendar on the City of Long Beach website, or pick one up at the Magnolia Center to see what is going on this month. You must provide a photo ID reflecting a City of Long Beach address and complete a registration card available in the main office on the second floor. To access a current calendar of events and activities log on to www.longbeachny.gov.

TOWN & COUNTY NASSAU COUNTY

TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD

ong Beach became a city in 1922, but it is also part of Nassau County and certain county services and facilities are available to Long Beach residents. In fact, barrier island residents who live outside the city limits — in East Atlantic Beach to the west and Lido Beach and Point Lookout to the east — depend on them.

Nassau is governed by an elected Legislature that was formed in January 1996. The Legislature’s 19 districts enable constituents to have greater access to their elected representatives. It includes an independent budget director who advises the Legislature on spending and revenue matters.

The legislature also enables residents to submit petitions for proposed new laws that legislators are obligated to consider.

The legislators serve two-year terms. The Fourth District includes the City of Long Beach, Atlantic Beach, East Atlantic Beach, Lido Beach and Point Lookout.

The county executive — currently Edward Mangano — serves a four-year term and is the chief administrator.

The Town of Hempstead is the largest township in the United States with over 142 square miles, a population of approximately 725,000, 34 unincorporated areas, 22 incorporated villages, over 65 parks and marinas and 2,500 miles of city, county and state roads.

In 1643, two Englishmen, John Carman and the Reverend Robert Fordham, traveled from Connecticut across the Long Island Sound to Long Island. They represented a group of settlers who wished to purchase from the Indians (the Reuckowacky, the Merockes, the Matinecock, and the Massapequas), the current Towns of Hempstead and North Hempstead. In 1644, the Town of Hempstead was founded when a patent was obtained from William Kieft, the Dutch Governor of New Amsterdam. The name Hempstead seems to derive from Hemel-Hempstead in Great Britain, which means town spot.

Hempstead grew steadily in the 1800s and by 1855 it was the most populous town in Queens County with just under 10,500 people. The town, along with the rest of Long Island, supplied the greater metropolitan area with a multitude of farm products and provided abundant recreational opportunities including seashore resorts, fox hunting, polo and horse racing. The population peaked at just over 800,000 in 1970, and is now levelled at approximately 725,000.

Today, on the Long Beach barrier island, the Town of Hempstead encompasses Point Lookout and Lido Beach to the east and East Atlantic Beach and Atlantic Beach to the west. The Town maintains two marinas in Point Lookout as well as several beach parks.

Hempstead Town has seven elected board members.

The supervisor, Anthony Santino, serves a two-year term. The six council members serve four years each.
