About Sea Cliff
Sea Cliff is an incorporated village in the Town of Oyster Bay on Long Island's North Shore, founded in the late 19th century as a Methodist camp meeting ground — which gave it its walkable streets, Victorian architecture, and small-town character — and incorporated in 1883 (per explorecity.life). It sits above Hempstead Harbor with stunning views of the Long Island Sound.
