Seaview is a family-oriented community of approximately 360+ homes, located in the central portion of Fire Island between the Village of Ocean Beach and Ocean Bay Park.

Seaview is divided between the two towns of Islip and Brookhaven. The dividing line between the two townships runs north to south along Ivy Walk in Seaview.

Most residents use their homes during the weekends and as vacation residences from April to November. We do, however, have an increasing number of retirees who live on the island for the entire summer, and there are also approximately 8 Seaview families who reside on the Island year-round. Summer and year-round residents alike are deeply attached to the Island, and third and now fourth generation Seaview families are becoming more common. Many extended families also own more than one house, as children and grandchildren grow up and come back to enjoy Seaview summers with their own families. 

The Seaview Association, an incorporated not-for-profit Homeowners Association (501c-4), owns and/ or maintains the community’s private sidewalks, bay and ocean beaches, a children’s playground and wading pool, six tennis courts, a ball field, a community house, and doctor’s office, the Serber Memorial Park, and other common areas. The Association also purchased the 60-slip Seaview boat basin in June 2006 and residents and transients moor their boats during the summer months. 

The Seaview Association is governed by a Board of Directors; comprised of 5 Officers (President, two Vice Presidents, Treasurer, and Secretary) and 15 Board members. The Association employs a Manager, 3 full-time staff, 1 seasonal employee and a part-time administrator.
