A view of Manhasset Bay from the MBEA Beach
Manhasset Bay Estates is a community of 280 homes located in the southwest corner of Port Washington, New York.
The area is very quiet and picturesque with little traffic and many mature trees, yet is also located close to shopping areas, major roadways, and the Port Washington LIRR train station.
The homeowners in the Estates own waterfront property on Manhasset Bay. Facilities there include a beach, floating dock, picnic tables, benches, a play gym for kids, and a pond. Homeowners also have mooring rights on the Bay, and there is space at the beach for storing small boats such as kayaks and dinghies.
The neighborhood also contains Merriman Park, which features a playground, basketball court, and a little-league baseball field.
The Manhasset Bay Estates Association (MBEA) is the homeowners' association for the Estates. The functions of the MBEA include maintaining the beach, working with the Town of North Hempstead to maintain the park, and organizing social events throughout the year.
