Montauk Beach Property Owners Association

About our
Association

Montauk Beach Property Owner’s Association is 82 years old this year. We took title to what was then known as the “Ocean View Beach” on June 15, 1942 and were incorporated on July 17, 1942. The original plan for our area of Montauk – as envisioned by developer Carl Fisher – was for an 18-hole golf course. Due to the great depression, his plans to make Montauk the “Miami Beach of the North” crumbled. Montauk Beach Development Corporation were the next owners of the property in 1926. The Mirror Holding Corporation who sold 100′ x 25′ lots for $100 each, subsequently owned the area, transferred the deed to us. The Mirror Holding Corporation eventually became The Montauk Improvement Company, which today is the Tuma Agency. We are a social organization where our members get together on the beach and at sponsored activities.
