It is summer and I have been receiving a number of requests lately for beach and waterfront houses, so I have pulled a number of beach house locations from my location files an added them to a beach houses album on Locamundo:

Beach Houses Location Album
locations-beach houses

Beach Houses Location Album

These are beach houses, ocean-front and bay-front houses of many diverse types and architectural styles, located all over the New York City Tri-State area - Jersey Shore, Long Island, Hamptons and the Connecticut Shore; in the album look for the town and a short description of the style of the house.
