Nassau Shores Real Estate in Massapequa, NY
Nassau Shores is an established residential subcommunity in Massapequa on Long Island's South Shore, with a mix of waterfront, water-adjacent, and interior residential properties.
The neighborhood has its own identity within the larger Massapequa community, shaped by its location near South Oyster Bay, local civic involvement, waterfront recreation, Bayfront Park, Peninsula Golf Course and recognizable local landmarks such as Riviera Waterfront Mansion.
I’m John Cordeira, Broker/Owner of Cordeira Homes, and I’ve been helping Long Island buyers and sellers for more than 20 years. This page is my main Nassau Shores neighborhood resource, with current listings below and links into my broader Massapequa real estate and community guides.

About Nassau Shores
Nassau Shores occupies part of the southern Massapequa peninsula extending toward South Oyster Bay.
The neighborhood is predominantly residential, but individual properties can vary considerably. Buyers may encounter traditional single-family homes, larger renovated properties, canal-front homes and properties with water views or access connected to the surrounding waterways.
Nassau Shores should therefore be viewed as a broader residential subcommunity rather than simply a waterfront development.
The Nassau Shores Civic Association states that it was established in 1938 and currently represents more than 1,500 residences in the community.
Nassau Shores Civic Association
The Nassau Shores Civic Association is an important first-hand resource for residents who want to follow neighborhood issues, events and community projects.
The organization publishes information about:
- Civic meetings
- Community events
- Neighborhood beautification projects
- Bayfront Park activities
- Peninsula Golf Course developments
- Local infrastructure and neighborhood issues
- The Tide community newsletter

Waterfront Homes in Nassau Shores
Waterfront real estate is an important part of Nassau Shores, but not every home in the neighborhood is waterfront.
Depending on the individual property, waterfront buyers may encounter:
- Canal frontage
- Open-water views
- Private docks
- Boat lifts
- Bulkheads
- Outdoor entertaining areas
- Direct boating access
Those features can vary significantly even between nearby properties.
If waterfront living is your priority, my Massapequa Waterfront Homes guide compares Nassau Shores with other waterfront subcommunities including Biltmore Shores, Harbour Green and Old Harbour Green.
Boating From Nassau Shores
For some buyers, the ability to keep a boat behind the house is one of the biggest attractions of Nassau Shores.
However, waterfront does not automatically mean every property will accommodate every boat.
Before purchasing, buyers may want to investigate:
- Water depth
- Tidal conditions
- Canal width
- Dock dimensions
- Boat-lift configuration
- Bulkhead condition
- Access toward larger waterways
- Existing permits and approvals
The waterfront itself deserves the same attention as the house.
Bayfront Park
Bayfront Park is one of the well-known waterfront gathering places in Nassau Shores.
The Nassau Shores Civic Association regularly references Bayfront Park in connection with neighborhood activities and community events.
The Town of Oyster Bay also identifies Bayfront Park as a Massapequa park property.
Residents looking for current Nassau Shores events can check the Civic Association's latest calendar and announcements.

Peninsula Golf Course
Peninsula Golf Course is one of the largest open-space features within Nassau Shores and has long been closely connected with the neighborhood.
The property is located at 50 Nassau Road in Massapequa.
The Town of Oyster Bay has publicly pursued efforts to preserve the property for golf, recreation and open-space use, while the Nassau Shores Civic Association has also followed the issue closely on behalf of local residents.

Because ownership, preservation efforts and legal issues surrounding the property can change over time, anyone interested in the current status should review the latest Town and Civic Association information rather than relying on older real estate descriptions.
Riviera Waterfront Mansion
One well-known local landmark in Nassau Shores is Riviera Waterfront Mansion, a waterfront wedding and event venue located at 200 East Shore Drive in Massapequa.
The venue sits along the water near Peninsula Golf Course and is part of the local Nassau Shores landscape that many residents recognize.
Flood Information in Nassau Shores
Because portions of Nassau Shores are close to canals, bays and other waterways, buyers should research flood information for the individual property rather than making assumptions based on the neighborhood alone.
The official FEMA Flood Map Service Center allows buyers and homeowners to research current federal flood hazard information using a specific property address.

Flood-zone designation is only one part of the analysis. Buyers should also consult their lender, insurance professional, attorney and other appropriate specialists regarding the individual property.
Schools and Nassau Shores
School assignments should always be verified for the specific property rather than assumed solely from a Massapequa mailing address or neighborhood name.
The Massapequa School District publishes current district, registration and individual school information on its official website.
You can also visit my Massapequa School District Real Estate Guide for housing-related information connected with the district.
