Nassau County, New York

Long Island’s western half is home to Nassau County. It’s a mix of suburban area and coastal beauty. It’s where New York City’s hustle meets laid-back beach vibes.
The county has more than 60 miles of coastline, including the famous Jones Beach. And you can’t talk about Nassau without mentioning the Gold Coast mansions that inspired “The Great Gatsby”.
Hofstra University is a private university in Hempstead. The Nassau Coliseum has hosted everything from rock concerts to NHL Islanders games. There’s also the Old Bethpage Village Restoration, a living museum of 19th-century life.
