West Gilgo Beach, New York

West Gilgo Beach is a small private gated community located in the town of Babylon, in Suffolk County, New York, United States.

About 60 of the original houses were moved by barge or the newly constructed road, from the Zachs Bay section of Jones Beach to the new community.

Originally almost entirely a summer community, over half of the houses are now winterized, and there is a mix of full-time and second home residents.

In July 2011, West Gilgo Beach residents united to beautify the community via a large-scale mural painting in the beach-access tunnel.

West Gilgo Beach is an L-shaped community with two roads: Ocean Walk, which begins at the border of Nassau County and Suffolk County and extends east along Ocean Parkway, and Bay Walk, which begins at the gate and heads north towards the South Oyster Bay.
