Overview
Legend Yacht & Beach Club is a 24-hour guard-gated waterfront community of just 47 detached homes in Glen Cove, built in 2002. The headline is the water: a private marina with boat slips and a private sandy beach on Long Island Sound — a gated community where you can step from home to your boat, which is rare on Long Island.
Highlights
Private marina + a private beach on the Sound
A private marina with boat slips (water and electric hookups, a breakwater) and a private sandy beach on Long Island Sound, plus a heated outdoor pool overlooking the marina. For a boating buyer, this is the whole point.
47 detached homes, guard-gated 24/7
Just 47 detached single-family homes, most on about half-acre lots, behind a 24/7 manned gated entrance with a visitor announcement system.
Clubhouse + indoor sport court
An owner clubhouse with water views, a fireplace lounge, catering kitchen, conference room, billiards, and a library, plus an indoor heated multi-sport court (tennis, pickleball, badminton, basketball, shuffleboard).
A longer commute — said plainly
HOA dues are about $2,450/month, covering landscaping, irrigation, and snow. One honest caveat is the commute: the nearest Glen Cove station is on the Oyster Bay Branch, roughly 64–78 minutes to Penn and often with a transfer at Jamaica or Mineola — this suits a buyer who drives or doesn't commute daily.
