Mastic, NY

Mastic is a census-designated place in the town of Brookhaven on Long Island's South Shore. It is part of the larger Mastic-Shirley-Mastic Beach area, with everyday life shaped by neighborhoods, schools, local shopping, and access to the Great South Bay region. The community is served by the William Floyd School District, and nearby parks, beaches, and wetlands give the area a coastal edge. Mastic feels residential and working-class, more local than polished, and closely tied to eastern Suffolk County's South Shore.
