Sands Point, Residential village in Nassau County, New York.
Description
Sands Point is a residential village at the tip of Cow Neck Peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides. The area contains mansions and landscaped grounds distributed throughout the community.
History
The village was incorporated in 1910 and soon merged with nearby communities to form the settlement we see today. These early combinations created the foundation for the residential community that developed over the following decades.
Culture
The Sands Point Preserve displays mansions and gardens that reflect how wealthy families built and decorated their homes in the early 1900s. Visitors can walk through these spaces and see the architectural choices and landscaping styles of that era.
Practical
The location is purely residential with no commercial zones, so visitors should plan ahead for dining and shopping elsewhere. The best experience comes from exploring the Sands Point Preserve and its grounds during fair weather.
