Please note:

1. Memorial Day (Monday, May 31th) follows the weekend summer schedule.

The Shore Acres clubhouse and grounds are located at the end of The Parkway at the tip of our neck of the Long Island Sound. The modest clubhouse includes an area for holding events, a screened porch, kitchen, restrooms and the caretaker’s apartment. Our large pool is located right on the Sound, while the kiddie pool is located in the expansive grassy are nearer to our beach.

All members are invited to enjoy the spectacular views of the Sound in all it’s magestic beauty throughout the seasons.

In the spring, the birds return and we are treated to longed-for songs and a flurry of wildlife activity after a cold winter. Our trees begin to bloom and there is promise of another magical summer on the warming breezes off the water.

As summer arrives, the grounds come alive with children and families, late afternoon swimmers and lone sunset watchers. The harbor is buzzing with boaters setting off to sail the cool waters of the Sound to many destinations of interest on the New York and Connecticut coastlines, and perhaps much farther beyond. There are picnics with neighbors, parties planned with friends and slow evening strolls under the stars.

In all seasons the Shore Acres clubhouse and grounds are a wonderful place to enjoy family, friends and nature.

The Beach

Beach
The beach is open for swimming in general. There are some days we may be advised that swimming is hazardous due to higher levels of contaminants. This determination is made by The Westchester County Board of Health, which conducts water quality checks at our beach in the late spring and throughout the swimming season. Swimming is also permitted from the kayak dock to the swimming float.
