Sands Point: Local Context
Sands Point occupies the tip of the Port Washington peninsula, with Sands Point Preserve and large waterfront estates on Long Island Sound. Sands Point is on Long Island's North Shore; its shoreline faces Long Island Sound, Manhasset Bay and Hempstead Harbor. As an incorporated village, Sands Point has its own village government, and building permits and code enforcement usually run through the village rather than the Town of North Hempstead. By Census Bureau measurements, the village covers about 4.22 square miles of land plus 1.38 square miles of water.
Neighboring communities include City of Glen Cove, Manorhaven, Port Washington, Port Washington North and Sea Cliff.
Sands Point Homes and Their Claims
Many Sands Point properties are custom or estate homes with mature landscaping and multiple structures. Debris removal, tree removal and landscaping sublimits, and the cost of specialty trades, are where these claims frequently come up short.
Storm, Water and Fire Risk in Sands Point
Homes near the bluffs face strong winds off Long Island Sound and erosion during nor'easters. Erosion itself is usually excluded, which makes it important to separate covered wind and water damage from the earth-movement arguments an insurer may raise.
