Explore Ocean Beach, New York, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ocean 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 Ocean 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.

Ocean Beach maintains a fragile, shifting equilibrium between the relentless salt-spray of the Atlantic Ocean and the dunes that rise like pale, wind-sculpted ramparts against the horizon. It lies 6.1 miles south-southeast of East Islip, NY (from East Islip, NY: bearing 166°T), and is situated 6.4 miles south-southeast of Islip. Here, the landscape is defined by the absence of pavement and the dominance of sand, a terrain where the primary architecture consists of weathered cedar shingles and boardwalks that snake through the scrub-oak thickets. Within the protected expanse of Fire Island National Seashore, the environment feels exposed and elemental, stripped of the heavy clutter found on the mainland. To the north, the salt marshes provide a quiet buffer, a world away from the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains that remain mere ghosts in the mind’s eye, far beyond the reach of the tides.
Ocean Beach thrives on a rhythm dictated by the ferry schedule and the seasonal migration of visitors who trade the frantic pace of urban life for a simpler, pedestrian-focused existence. The local economy revolves entirely around this summer vitality, relying on the steady flow of goods across the water to sustain a village that functions without the intrusion of automobiles. While the quiet waters near Money Island offer a serene counterpoint to the crashing surf, and the distant reaches of Quintuck Creek or the freshwater stillness of Upper Winganhauppauge Lake remain tucked away in the geography of the wider region, life here stays anchored to the shoreline. The character of the place is forged in the resilient, sandy soil and the shared understanding that everything, from the mail to the groceries, arrives by boat, keeping the village intimately connected to the currents of the sea.

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.
