Cove Neck, village in Nassau County, New York, United States of America
Cove Neck is a small village on Long Island that sits on a narrow neck of land extending into Oyster Bay. The streets are quiet and lined with large homes dating mostly from the early 20th century, surrounded by trees and open grass spaces.
The village was formally established in 1927 and has maintained its quiet character ever since. The area is closely tied to President Theodore Roosevelt, who built his house Sagamore Hill here as his summer residence.
The village takes its name from its geography as a neck of land extending into Oyster Bay. The community is defined by large early 20th century homes that reflect how affluent families have made their lives here for generations.
The village is small with no major shops or busy streets, so visitors should plan to go to nearby towns for shopping and services. The best way to explore is on foot with quiet walks through tree-lined streets and along the waterfront to reach natural areas.
A wooden boardwalk crosses the salt marshes and offers views of Oyster Bay as part of the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site. This walkway connects visitors to the natural beauty of the area and presidential history in a way you would not expect from a small village.
