Cordeira Realty
Massapequa Shores is an established South Shore subcommunity in Massapequa with a mix of waterfront and non-waterfront homes, residential canals and easy access to the broader Massapequa community.
The neighborhood includes traditional single-family homes, renovated properties and waterfront homes where buyers may encounter docks, bulkheads, canal views and boating access.
It is also close to some of the places that have become part of the Massapequa identity — including longtime local restaurants and one of Long Island's most recognizable hamburger stands.
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 Massapequa Shores neighborhood resource, with current listings below and links into my broader Massapequa real estate and local guides.

Massapequa Shores is located in the southern portion of Massapequa near the Great South Bay and the network of residential canals that helps define this part of Long Island's South Shore.
The community includes both waterfront and interior residential properties, so buyers should evaluate the individual street, lot and house rather than assuming every Massapequa Shores property offers the same waterfront access or amenities.
A home only a few blocks inland can have a very different market profile from one sitting directly on a canal or bayfront location.
Waterfront real estate is an important part of Massapequa Shores, but not every home in the neighborhood is directly on the water.
Depending on the individual property, waterfront buyers may encounter:
Those characteristics can vary significantly even between nearby properties.
If you're comparing the different waterfront sections of the area, visit my Massapequa Waterfront Homes guide.
One detail buyers should pay close attention to in Massapequa Shores is whether a particular property includes private beach or association rights.
Those rights should never be assumed simply because a home is located in Massapequa Shores.

If a listing advertises private beach, association or deeded access, buyers should verify the specific rights through the deed, title report, association documents and their attorney before relying on that amenity as part of the purchase.
For some buyers, the ability to keep a boat behind the house is one of the biggest reasons to consider Massapequa Shores.
But waterfront does not automatically mean that every property will accommodate every boat.
Buyers may want to investigate:
The waterfront should be evaluated as carefully as the house itself.
Bulkheads and docks can represent an important part of both the usefulness and future maintenance cost of a waterfront property.
When evaluating a Massapequa Shores waterfront home, buyers may want to understand:
These details can make two otherwise similar waterfront homes very different from one another.
Because portions of Massapequa Shores are located along canals and near the Great South Bay, buyers should research flood information for the individual address.
The official FEMA Flood Map Service Center allows buyers and homeowners to research current federal flood hazard information by property location.

Flood-zone designation is only one part of the picture. Buyers should also speak with their lender, insurance professional, attorney and other appropriate specialists regarding the specific property.
Massapequa Shores is primarily residential, but residents are only minutes from some of Massapequa's best-known local food spots.
One of the most recognizable is All American Hamburger Drive-In at 4286 Merrick Road.
All American has been serving Massapequa since 1963 and has become a longtime Long Island tradition for burgers, fries, shakes and classic drive-in food.
The business describes itself as Long Island's only drive-in hamburger stand, and generations of local residents have made a stop at All American part of the Massapequa experience.
Its sister business, Marshall's Ice Cream Bar, is located directly next door, making burgers followed by ice cream a familiar local combination.
Smuggler Jack's at 157 Forest Avenue offers another very different type of local dining experience.
The restaurant sits along the waterfront and offers coastal-style dining, cocktails and views of the surrounding water — fitting naturally into the South Shore character of the area.
Tai Show Sushi at 4320 Merrick Road is another longtime local option close to Massapequa Shores.
The Japanese restaurant specializes in sushi and gives residents another established dining option right along the Merrick Road corridor.
These are only a few nearby examples. I'm also building a much broader Massapequa Shopping, Dining & Nightlife guide covering restaurants, bars, cafés and longtime local favorites throughout Massapequa and Massapequa Park.
