WELCOME TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Shirley and the Mastics are communities rich in history, complex in configuration, and sometimes mired in controversy. However, those who travel the narrow streets lined with homes ranging in size from tiny cottages to perfectly landscaped McMansions, know the beauty of this last frontier of Long Island's south shore waterfront property. Unlike the hamlets to the east, this waterfront property has not yet been not acquired by millionaires or celebrities. Well, OK perhaps one or two celebrity types have stumbled onto this well kept secret with its lovely vistas and quiet nature preserves, as well as its beautiful beaches and versatile community life. Autumn is a great time to visit our historic sites, Manor of St. George and the William Floyd Estate. Winter brings fabulous frozen views of the bay and one of Suffolk County's best Christmas parades. Spring brings a terrific fishing season, both salt water and fresh water at our two County Parks. And Summer brings tourists, concerts, festivals and a lively atmosphere for these growning communities. We hope you'll visit us soon.
