We have our own private Beach and a Beach club.Seagate is adjacent ( a few blocks)to the 2 1/2 mile Boardwalk that leads and is all things CONEY ISLAND.
Residents refer to Sea Gate as "the gate" and venturing into adjoining Coney Island as going "out the gate". There are no stores in the neighborhood. There are express buses to Manhattan, which take an average of 80 minutes.[1] As of 2010 Sea Gate is made up of 832 single-family houses in a variety of architectural styles, including Queen Anne Style and Mediterranean.[1]

Residents pay for their own police as well as sewer, beach, lifeguards, street lights, and street cleaning.[3]

There are two landmarks in Sea Gate. Located on Beach 47th Street in Sea Gate is the 75-foot-tall (23 m) Coney Island Light, is a lighthouse built in 1890, before the area was populated. The lighthouse is the former home of Frank Schubert, the United States' last civilian lighthouse keeper, who died in 2003.[1] The chapel in Sea Gate, once used for services and built in 1901, is a historical building now used for social events, yoga classes, and is a polling site at election times. The Chapel with its stained-glass windows is the first structure seen when entering the main (police protected) gate.[1]

In addition to large and private beach areas, Sea Gate has two parks:

A playground with a basketball court and children's jungle gym pieces next to the Sea Gate Community Center on Surf Avenue.
