The North Shore of Long Island is the area along the northern coast of New York's Long Island bordering Long Island Sound.

Historically, this term refers to the coastline communities in the towns of North Hempstead (such as Great Neck and Port Washington) and Oyster Bay in Nassau County and the Town of Huntington in Suffolk County, although the town of Smithtown east of here is also known for its affluence. The easternmost Gold Coast mansion is the Geissler Estate, located just west of Indian Hills Country Club in Fort Salonga, within the Town of Huntington.

  • The North Shore of Long Island is the area along the northern coast of New York's Long Island bordering Long Island Sound. Known for its extreme wealth and lavish estates, the North Shore exploded into affluence at the turn of the 20th century, earning it the nickname the Gold Coast. Historically, this term refers to the coastline communities in the towns of North Hempstead (such as Great Neck and Port Washington) and Oyster Bay in Nassau County and the Town of Huntington in Suffolk County, although the town of Smithtown east of here is also known for its affluence. The easternmost Gold Coast mansion is the Geissler Estate, located just west of Indian Hills Country Club in Fort Salonga, within the Town of Huntington. Being a remnant of glacial moraine, the North Shore is somewhat hilly, and its beaches are more rocky than those on the flat, sandy outwash plain of the South Shore along the Atlantic Ocean. Large boulders known as glacial erratics are scattered across the area. (en)
  • 长岛北岸（North Shore of Long Island）是美国纽约州长岛北部长岛海湾沿岸地区，以其极度的财富和奢华的庄园而闻名，在20世纪之交获得了“黄金海岸”的绰号。历史上，这个术语指的是拿骚县和萨福克县的北亨普斯特德、牡蛎湾和亨廷顿等城镇的海岸线社区。最东端的黄金海岸豪宅是盖斯勒庄园，位于亨廷顿镇内萨隆加堡的印第安山乡村俱乐部以西。 北岸作为冰川冰碛的残余，散布着丘陵，其海滩比起沿大西洋的长岛南岸冰水冲积平原的平坦沙滩，较为崎岖。称为漂砾的巨大冰砾散布在该地区。 (zh)
