Sea Cliff

Few communities in New York have a history as closely tied to the Methodist camp-meeting movement as Sea Cliff. Established in 1871 as a summer religious gathering, this incorporated village occupies a bluff above Hempstead Harbor on Long Island’s North Shore, near the harbor’s opening to Long Island Sound. Its compact streets retain many late-19th-century homes, including ornate Victorian examples that set Sea Cliff apart from the larger suburban communities nearby. The waterfront and residential hillside preserve the scale of its early settlement while placing it within Nassau County and the wider New York metropolitan area.
