The town of Babylon is one the most densely populated communities in Suffolk County and one of the most multi-cultural. Incorporated villages within the township include Amityville, Babylon, and Lindenhurst. However, a number of other hamlets and neighborhoods sprawl over the town's 53 square miles. Continuous enterprise, innovation, and prosperity are calling cards of this beautiful area that once drew wealthy New Yorkers to its peaceful countryside and oceanfront recreation. Belmont Lake State Park plays an important role in sports and recreation for residents and visitors alike. Babylon residents are close to Fire Island attractions, including the national seashore of the same name and the famous Fire Island Lighthouse.
