Dix Hills and Melville residents are lucky during the summer months to have such easy 
access to both the North Shore beaches and the renowned ocean beaches on the South Shore. The Town of Huntington has 8 town beaches and they’re all open the end of May to Labor Day Weekend. The seasonal permit (for residents) is only $25 and can be obtained right at the beach with a valid driver’s license and car registration. You can find directions to the beaches and more information at the Town of Huntington’s website.

From summer camps for children to lessons in belly dancing for adults to “Movies on the Lawn” to golf and swimming lessons – you’ll find it in the Summer Leisure Guide! Check it out! The services and facilities available to all residents is a big reason why people love to live in Huntington Township.
And, of course, the Huntington Arts Council sponsors the annual Summer Arts Festival in Heckscher Park every year. A highlight of the summer is to bring your lawn chair in the evening to sit with friends and neighbors to hear a concert in the park. The Council has a wonderful program scheduled for this year. Don’t miss it!
I found this beautiful video on You Tube which shows some of the lovely beaches and lighthouses on Long Island. I thought you might enjoy seeing and sharing it with your friends.
The most desirable over-55 community on Long Island is “The Greens” – located in Melville near LIE, exit 50 or NSP, exit 41. Residents of The Greens probably are unaware of its tumultuous history and how hard their nearby neighbors fought to see this development come to pass. (I flew back from Colorado during my summer vacation one year to speak at the Huntington Town Board Hearing before the vote to approve or disapprove the plans took place. After spending years with the local civic association fighting for this development, I wasn’t about to sit on the sidelines and not see the end result!) The success of The Greens is a tribute to all who believed that this was the right plan, at the right time, for our community.
