Calm, neighborly community with ocean and bay access
Sandwiched between Atlantic Beach and Long Beach, it’s understandable to assume that East Atlantic Beach is a little copy of one of the recognizable communities — even if it’s also not an entirely correct one. “The [communities] in Long Beach are all part of the same little barrier island that’s a part of Long Island. In that way, they all feel like they’re part of one place, but each one also has its own character,” says Peter Posner, a licensed real estate salesperson at Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty who has been selling homes here for 9 years. Dubbed “EAB” by locals, East Atlantic Beach is the quietest of the three communities, yet it offers access to all the nightlife and bustle of Long Beach just a short walk or bike ride away for many residents. It also offers access to a bigger municipal beach than Atlantic Beach, which mitigates any need to belong to a swanky beach club. “If you like the bay or the ocean, they’re both right there,” says Frank DeLucia, a licensed associate broker at Coldwell Banker American Homes who lives nearby in Long Beach and has sold homes here for over 30 years. “It’s just a friendly little hamlet. Everybody knows everybody there.”

Sunbathing and swimming at East Atlantic Beach
The half of the beach that’s not part of the local event venue and two beach clubs is municipal and for residents only — with a couple major exceptions. “If you have 10 friends over, and you walk in with them, they’ll let them in on the beach and they won’t charge you anything,” DeLucia says. “It’s not like Long Beach — you can’t do that there. When you have guests, you can take them right on the beach with you, there’s no charge at all.” People who are renting homes from residents are also welcome on East Atlantic Beach. It is mostly a year-round community, though, so while summer rentals do happen and make the area busier during the warm months, DeLucia says it’s only by a little bit — another difference that sets it apart from Long Beach. East Atlantic Beach also has lifeguards during the summer, secure locations where locals can leave their chairs and umbrellas between beach visits and a playground for younger kids. It’s a prime spot for locals to enjoy swimming and sunbathing, especially because it is often less crowded than Long Beach. Surfing can be a little dodgy at this beach because the sandbars here tend toward making waves close out. Better surfing spots are found in Long Beach and Lido Beach, but plenty of surfers still test out their skills here.
Atlantic Beach, known for it's summer vibes, is beach destination all year.

Inland fixer-uppers starting around $700,000
East Atlantic Beach is almost entirely residential, and homes range from the expected Cape Cods, colonials, hi-ranches and new traditional homes to contemporary homes built anywhere between 1970 and 2000. Small fixer-uppers without direct water access typically start at around $700,000, though they occasionally dip into the $600,000 range, and max out at around $2 million. Homes right on the ocean or the bay usually range between $1 million and $4 million, though a few outliers rocket past this. The most expensive homes are typically on the ocean side, but this isn’t always true — one of the community's priciest homes, worth an estimated $11.5 million, actually sits on the bay. Nearer the Atlantic, beachy tri-story homes become much more common, either built on stilts or over first-floor garages to help protect against flooding. Like other waterfront and island communities, flood insurance is a must here. The CAP Index crime score is 3 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.
Older colonial homes are found on the ocean side of town in E Atlantic Beach, NY.
Many E Atlantic Beach, NY homes have been renovated, expanded, and elevated onto cement slabs.

Closing off the street for block parties
Frequent block parties help strengthen East Atlantic Beach’s neighborly atmosphere. “They chip in and hire something for the kids,” DeLucia says. “A juggler, a clown, rides maybe.” A street is often blocked off for these events. Beyond this, though, Long Beach is the go-to spot for big festivals and concerts.
Some of the bay side homes of E Atlantic Beach, NY are waterfront and have private docks.

Popular beer garden, walking to Atlantic or Long Beach
There’s only one restaurant in East Atlantic Beach, which Posner calls “a charming beer garden.” Das Biergarten offers a wide selection of German-inspired food, but its pretzels and pretzel buns are particularly popular. It also has a long beer list and outdoor seating with umbrellas. “Of course, if you live here, you’ve got the option of walking next door to places like Dino’s with its coal-fired pizza over in Atlantic Beach or you’ve got Long Beach on the other side with tons of retail and bars and restaurants,” Posner says. Perhaps the most popular of Atlantic Beach’s spots is Beginnings, a bar and restaurant with a warm, bookshelf-filled interior. One block across the border with Long Beach, Beach Bagel & Deli is also popular and Key Food Supermarkets offers groceries.

Commuting by car, LIRR
Beech Street is East Atlantic Beach’s main thoroughfare, but even for a main road, it’s relatively quiet. Bus stops dot the road, and getting off the island is just a matter of driving west on it toward the Atlantic Beach Bridge, which brings commuters back onto Long Island. Alternatively, they can head east along it to Long Beach Station, where the Long Island Rail Road brings commuters to Manhattan’s Penn Station in just under an hour. St. John’s Episcopal Hospital is less than 4 miles away and John F. Kennedy International Airport is 9 miles away.
