Atlantic Beach is a village located on the west end of the Long Beach Barrier Island in the Town of Hempstead, in Nassau County, New York, United States.[3] [4] The population was 1,707 at the time of the 2020 census.[5]
The Incorporated Village of Atlantic Beach is located on Long Beach Barrier Island – one of the outer barrier islands – which it shares with Long Beach, East Atlantic Beach, Lido Beach, and Point Lookout. It is a suburb of New York City and shares a maritime border with Far Rockaway, Queens.
To the North, Atlantic Beach is bordered by Reynolds Channel and East Rockaway Inlet. Atlantic Beach is home to the oldest beach club in the United States, the Lawrence Beach Club.[6]
During the summer months, the population swells by thousands as people flood the beaches[7] [8] [9] and the summer residents move in.[10] Atlantic Beach residents may obtain season passes and access the beaches through nine entrances.[11] [12] [13] It has been described as the "Genuine 'Old New York' paradise".[14]
History
Conception and early history
The first real interest in modern-day Atlantic Beach came in 1922 when Robert Moses – the famous highway builder and public works czar, and Chairman of the State Council of Parks – included Atlantic Beach as part of his "State Park Plan for New York". The blueprints, which are on file at the archives in Albany, showed a parkway from central Queens to a bridge crossing Reynolds Channel with architecturally refined facilities for thousands of beach goers; however, cost overruns on many of Robert Moses' other projects at the time and other factors dampened his plans, which were ultimately abandoned.
Founding and early history
In 1923, the village's first developer, Atlantic Beach Associates led by Stephen P. Pettit, a former Nassau County Sheriff and banker from Freeport, had dreams of creating a place that would rival the City of Long Beach, which was created by a Politician and amusement park operator named William H. Reynolds. He died just after buying land for 3,500 lots in Atlantic Beach.[15]
In 1926, real estate tycoon William Austin, who graduated from Yale University with his associate, Charles N. Talbot Jr, formed Island Park Associates which purchased the land for $4,000,000.[16] William Austin was married to Actress Josephine Sanders, better known as Irene Delroy;[17] the wedding was officiated by Mayor James J. Walker on July 15, 1931.[18] [19] Austin and Talbot completed Pettit's preliminary dredging and. shoring work, and proceeded to subdivide the property. They installed gas and electricity lines, and a sanitary sewer system was installed in 1927. They began selling land and building homes; the first 45 of the 150 homes they planned on building were financed using a mortgage from The Title Guarantee and Trust Company. The. homes were all designed with seven rooms, two baths, private detached garages on 48' x 88' lots and were built in a wide array of styles. Mr. Austin finished Petitt's plan to build a bridge between Far Rockaway and Atlantic beach, which was opened and dedicated on June 29, 1927. A boardwalk was planned for the entire ocean side but, as constructed, it was about a mile long, stretching from west of The Plaza and extending beyond Vernon Avenue, and double the width of the boardwalk which exists today.
The Castles Beach Club opened in May 1928, which contained one of the largest pools on the South Shore of Long Island.[20] The Atlantic Beach Club,[21] later known as the Atlantic Beach Hotel and Cabana Club, the ABH, opened in 1930[22] [23] and plans were announced for the building of the Casa Del Mar (later the Nautilus Hotel)[24]), an apartment hotel, which upon completion became an overnight sensation and, in August 1930, the new homeowners in Atlantic Beach joined together and formed the Atlantic Beach Property Owner's Association. The United States Olympic Diving team practiced at the Atlantic Beach Hotel.
The community attracted the wealthy due to its resort atmosphere produced by the beach clubs. Many members of the social register frequented or lived in Atlantic Beach.[25] [26] Atlantic Beach is sometimes referred to as the “Palm Beach of New York”, and is to many a summer paradise.[27] [28] Later on, in the 1960s, the village was frequented by the Kennedys.[29] The village was a big draw when the Hamptons were just a pile of sand.[30]
During Prohibition, local swimmers would guide dories (Small boats) full of alcohol to shore from Canadian ships anchored nearby.[31]
Atlantic Beach became of vital importance to the government during World War II. A 120-foot concrete lookout tower was constructed at the tip of Silverpoint with both the bridge and its access to Silverpoint being designated as emergency military routes in time of war. During this time, homeowners also patrolled the beaches for signs of enemy submarines. By the end of World War II, Atlantic Beach had become a summer mecca with thousands of city dweller clogging what were then only local streets through both the Rockaways and the Five Towns.[32] Beach clubs helped to support the war effort by abiding by dim-out requirements, offering bus service, installing bike racks, and some even allowed their guest to stay overnight (which now is strictly forbidden).[33] [34] The Ocean Club, at the time known as the Ocean Club of Forest Hills, held an acclaimed social events in support of the war effort.[35]
On October 14, 1950, a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Atlantic Beach Bridge was held and the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new bridge was held on May 10, 1952.[36]
In June 1953, the reconstruction of the boardwalk from The Plaza to Putnam was completed. This boardwalk was half the width and shorter than the prior boardwalk.
Fight for incorporation
Before incorporation in 1962, the residents were banded together in a property owners’ association. Before the incorporation, it turned over the deeds to the community's beaches to the Town of Hempstead and for a while, everything was fine.[37] [38] However, according to Mayor Lager “, the town tried to extend the use of the beaches to everyone in the town and we fought it.[39] The town's response to our objections was, in effect, ‘Sue us'. So we sought permission to be incorporated as a village from the county and when we finally won our village status the deeds automatically reverted to the village.”[40] The Village held its first elections in June 1962. Fred Lager was the mayor for the first 28 years, until 1996. Initially, the village was not granted zoning powers due to an amendment to Nassau County's charter,[41] [42] however, zoning powers were fought for,[43] and taken over by the village in 2002.[44] [45] [46] [47] The Atlantic Beach Village Office, at 60 Park Street, officially opened on November 18, 1962.
As of 2021, Atlantic Beach remains the only village in Nassau County to have incorporated itself after the county charter was amended in the 1930s.[48]
Modern history
The new Atlantic Beach Village Hall at 65 The Plaza officially opened on June 6, 1971.
During the 1970s, a player for The New York Rangers died in Atlantic Beach following a fight with one of his fellow players.[49] [50]
In the 1970s there was controversy regarding allegations by a geologist that NYC was dumping sludge and oil, that allegedly affected Atlantic Beach.[51] [52] [53]
In 1984, Atlantic Beach's Ocean Club was sued for allegedly discriminating against Jewish guests and applicants.[54] The 1980s also saw many of the celebrities and summer residents moved out towards the Hamptons. Some residents from Long Beach moved into Atlantic Beach as they became wealthier.[55]
In 1991, an African American resident of the village named Alfred Jermaine Ewell was beaten up and hospitalized after a Lawrence public school graduation event in the village.[56] Later, Reverend Al Sharpton bussed in people and led a march from the town of Inwood to Atlantic Beach;[57] he received mix results, as Atlantic Beach is a very open and welcoming community. Additionally, the boy's mother decided not to partake in the march. Later, people were tried, and a man was found guilty of the attack.[58] [59]
In 1996, Stephen Mahler replaced Fred Lager as mayor; Lager was the first and third Mayor of the Incorporated Village of Atlantic Beach.[60]
In 2007 it was rumored that Donald Trump's Trump Organization and Toll Brothers wanted to develop the oceanfront, however this has not come to fruition.[61]
In 2012, Atlantic beach was severely impacted by Hurricane Sandy.[62] [63] [64]
Many young buyers, including people from Manhattan's Upper East Side, have snapped up Atlantic Beach houses as they grew tired of commuting three or more hours to the Hamptons or the Jersey Shore. However, there are only three oceanfront homes in the Village, most of the homes are either not on the water, or they face Reynolds channel. There are many summer-time rentals in the village.[65] [66]
In 2014, George Pappas assumed the Mayorship from Stephen Mahler, who had served as Mayor for the previous 18 years.Republican Bruce Blakeman represented the Village of Atlantic Beach, Atlantic Beach Estates and East Atlantic Beach as a Town of Hempstead Councilman before becoming Nassau County Executive.
During the summer of 2016,[67] a paddle-boarder from the village was found dead at sea.[68] [69] Michael Bloomberg spoke at his funeral.[70]
There are still many beach clubs along the beach. There is also an old-age home called the Nautilus.[71] A development called Pebble Cove was built along the Ocean between Putnam Blvd and Vernon Avenue. Pebble Cove is a 48-town-house complex with gated security and a swimming pool.[72] [73] [74]
During the summer of 2019, there was an article about an Uber driver who kidnapped a girl from Atlantic Beach.[75] [76] [77] [78]
Resistance to development
Many of the beach club's owners have tried to buy additional lots in the village, however, most attempts have been rebuffed by the village board; the residents are staunchly opposed to any development that is not in-line with the character of the village, even until this day.[79] [80] [81] A relatively recent attempt to develop beachside condos was supported by former Senator D'Amato – although this attempt, too, failed.[82] Additionally, residents have opposed the construction of an Eruv, since Atlantic Beach residents did not want Atlantic Beach to be as filled with Orthodox Jews as the neighboring towns of Lawrence and Cedarhurst had become. In 1989, one resident told the New York Times that they thought the eruv would encourage the "ghettoization" of the community. As of 2020, there is an eruv in Atlantic Beach, which is fully operational and checked weekly.[83] [84]
Geography and wildlife
Access and street layout
The blocks in Atlantic Beach are in alphabetical order named after counties in New York State and are in alphabetical order from A-Z, with the exception of X and Z.[85] There are three main roads that intersect these blocks in the Village: Bay Boulevard, Park Street, and Ocean Boulevard. As Park Street enters into East Atlantic Beach, it becomes Beech Street. The blocks in West Atlantic Beach are from A-G. There are four main roads that intersect these roads: Ocean Boulevard, Pacific Boulevard, Atlantic Boulevard (a continuation of Park Street), and Bay Boulevard.
Atlantic Beach is connected to the rest of Long Island by the Atlantic Beach Bridge. Atlantic Beach has the only toll-bridge in Nassau County, the Atlantic Beach Bridge.[86] [87] In 1952, the original bridge was replaced by the Nassau County Bridge Authority. Although the toll is somewhat controversial due to allegations of patronage, Atlantic Beach residents support it since it helps to control traffic in the village.[88] [89] [90] The bridge is notorious for frequently opening to let ships through.[91]
