There’s something magical about summertime on Long Island—and this year, I’m especially excited because we joined the New York Beach Club. Tucked along the Atlantic coast in the heart of Atlantic Beach, the New York Beach Club offers everything you could want in a summer escape: ocean breezes, poolside relaxation, delicious food, and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere.
Membership at the club isn’t just about having a place to lay your towel; it’s about creating lasting memories, building community, and making the most of every sunny day. Here’s a look at what I’m most looking forward to this season:
Renting a Poolside Cabana
One of the biggest perks of membership? The cabanas and the one I am renting this summer happens to be poolside. I’m already dreaming about lazy afternoons spent lounging in our own shaded space, complete with comfy seating and a front-row view of the pool. It’s the perfect setup for reading a book, enjoying a snack, or just soaking in the summer vibe without ever needing to fight for a chair.
Ordering Food and Drinks on the Beach Via the NYBC App
Gone are the days of packing soggy sandwiches in a cooler. The New York Beach Club makes beach life feel like resort life, thanks to their handy app that lets you order food and drinks right from your lounge chair. Whether it’s an iced coffee in the morning or fish tacos for lunch, everything is just a few taps away—and it’s delivered right to you on the sand.
Spending the Holidays with Friends and Family
The New York Beach Club keeps the good times rolling with a full calendar of members-only events. From themed parties and kids’ activities to live music and movie nights under the stars, there’s always something happening. It’s more than a beach club—it’s a summer-long social calendar built right in.
Some highlights I’ve heard about include:
- lobster bakes
- clam bakes
- live bands
- horseback riding
- dance parties
- live DJs and bands
- bubble and foam parties
- … and more
An Amazing Restaurant
Let’s talk food. The club’s on-site restaurant is way more than just burgers and fries. Think fresh seafood, seasonal salads, and mouthwatering specials that make dining out feel like a treat every time. It’s perfect for a quick bite or a long, leisurely dinner with ocean views and salty air.
The Restaurant at New York Beach Club is open for the public to enjoy Thursday-Sunday after 6pm.
Becoming Friendly with Other Guests
One of the things I’m truly looking forward to is meeting other members. The club has such a welcoming vibe, and it’s easy to strike up conversations at the pool, on the beach, or at one of the events. I love the idea of my family building new friendships and becoming part of a community that makes summer even more special.
Open House May 4th
Mark your calendar because the New York Beach Club is having an open house on May 4th. If you’d like to see firsthand whether or not this is the right place for you, grab your family and head down for a proper walkthrough. You won’t be disappointed.
Unforgettable Summer Memories With The Family
If you’re looking for a summer filled with sun, sand, and unforgettable memories, the New York Beach Club is the perfect place to call your summer home. With its pristine private beach, heated Olympic-size pool, full-service restaurant, and family-friendly atmosphere, it offers the ultimate coastal escape without ever leaving Long Island.
Whether you’re catching rays in a private cabana, ordering food right to your beach chair, or enjoying one of their many exclusive member events, every day feels like a mini vacation. Located at 1751 Ocean Boulevard in Atlantic Beach, NY, the club is now accepting new members for the season—and spots fill up fast!
