How to Use This Atlantic Beach, New York Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Atlantic Beach, New York. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of New York or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Atlantic Beach.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Atlantic Beach, New York
Atlantic Beach is a locality in Nassau County, New York, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,707. The population density is 1501.3 people per km². Atlantic Beach is located at 40.5890°N, 73.7290°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Atlantic Beach is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 11509.Atlantic Beach presents a low-lying silhouette against the horizon, where the salt-heavy air clings to the skin and the horizon line blurs between the gray sky and the churning Atlantic Ocean. It lies 2.5 miles south-southeast of Inwood, NY (from Inwood, NY: bearing 158°T), and is situated 5.7 miles south-southeast of Springfield Gardens Queens. This narrow strip of land is defined by its immediate proximity to the tides, which pulse against the sand with a relentless, rhythmic persistence. Beyond the immediate dunes, the landscape remains flat and exposed, a fragile barrier of earth reclaimed by the sea. While the Appalachian Mountains loom deep in the interior of the state, they are nothing more than a memory here, replaced by the expansive, shifting topography of the TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD Land, which anchors the local environment and preserves a sliver of raw, unmanicured coastline.
Atlantic Beach functions as a quiet residential enclave, its history shaped by the seasonal ebb and flow of summer visitors seeking refuge from the density of the urban core. The local economy revolves around the maintenance of this seasonal rhythm, supporting a landscape that feels perpetually poised between the quiet of the off-season and the sudden, sharp influx of the warmer months. Inland, the ecological character shifts, with the brackish waters of Bannister Creek and the still surface of Sage Pond providing a subtle, hidden contrast to the oceanic energy of the perimeter. Nearby, the marshy expanse of Big Hassock emerges from the water, a silent reminder of the natural landforms that define the periphery of the West Meadow basin, while the residents navigate a life calibrated to the presence of the water and the shifting light that defines the edge of the world.

About This Atlantic Beach Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Atlantic Beach, New York. Coordinates: 40.588994, -73.729021. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Atlantic Beach includes the ZIP code (11509), telephone area code (516), county seat of Nassau County (Mineola), and school district assignment (Lawrence Union Free School District).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
