Welcome to the glorious Village of Ocean Beach, the unofficial capital of the half-mile-wide by 32-mile-long barrier beach of Fire Island, just south and parallel to Long Island. It’s perfect for all ages. Both singles and families. It’s unique character is in its varied restaurants, treasure-laden shops and home-spun galleries. Ocean Beach combines the allure of a resort with a casual atmosphere and the safety of a lost age. 

We have it all - beautiful supervised ocean and bay beaches, lovely single 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.
