The small hamlet of Copiague in the town of Babylon encompasses the neighborhoods of Copiague Harbor and Amity Harbor on Long Island's South Shore.  This culturally diverse area with a strong Italian influence offers a small-town setting where residents are drawn together frequently for school, church, library, and social activities.  A newly formed beautification society has worked to improve the area and has been active in bringing together the Copiague community for a number of annual events.  One of the area highlights is Tanner Park, which offers a beach on the Great South Bay and a cultural building with a senior citizen center, baseball and soccer fields, and a boat marina.  The cluster of small, picturesque sea-going vessels lends Copiague a resort-like touch.  The elite neighborhood of Copiague Harbor offers an exclusive community and some of the finest homes in New York State.
