Founded in 1929, the Sound Beach Property Owners' Association is a community-based organization with a broad scope of duties benefiting our members and the residents of Sound Beach. Our main focus is to preserve the beaches and parklands of Sound Beach, and maintain the Clubhouse for special events and private parties. We also host several events for our members and their friends and family. Some events raise funds to support our mission, while others are traditional celebrations that help maintain a continual sense of community in Sound Beach.

Simply stated, our aim is to provide a safe and healthy environment for our members to enjoy the simple pleasures of sea and sand. We have the good fortune of having the longest shore front of any private beach in the area-allowing for solitude or solidarity. Our longtime members have fond memories of summers past and newer members have the opportunity to build memorable experiences of summers to come.

Our many tasks and events are supported through relatively inexpensive membership dues, contributions and volunteer efforts of our members, their family, friends and neighbors. We are also responsible for administrating, maintaining and managing the activities and expenses associated with the beaches and clubhouse: we pay tax bills, insurance bills, monthly operating expenses for the clubhouse. We repair, maintain and manage the beaches, including repairs and maintenance of the steps and barriers. There are substantial seasonal expenses for the beaches, including permits, maintenance, repairs to the steps and bulkheads, security and lifeguards.

For over 70 years, the SBPOA has worked to preserve the magic of Sound Beach. It is with great pride that we continue this tradition of instilling a warm sense of community to Sound Beach residents and guests, and being guardians of the Sound Beach shore!
