About South Oyster Bay
This southern portion of the Town of Oyster Bay is very different from its northern half, in terms of feel. Unlike North Oyster Bay (much of which feels very secluded and rural and is mostly hilly), South Oyster Bay is a dense, bustling suburban area, which is mostly flat (spare for much of the Plainview–Old Bethpage area). While the northern half of Oyster Bay only has a few communities with large, busy downtown areas (i.e., Oyster Bay hamlet and Sea Cliff), South Oyster Bay is packed with them (i.e., Farmingdale, Hicksville, Massapequa, and Massapequa Park). In fact, one of the trendiest and most popular scenes for nightlife and young adults on suburban Long Island is the downtown area of the Village of Farmingdale.
