'''Lido Beach''' is a [[Hamlet (New York)|hamlet]] and [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in the [[Town of Hempstead]] in [[Nassau County, New York|Nassau County]], [[New York (state)|New York]], United States. Located on the [[Long Beach Barrier Island]], it is a suburb of the [[Long Beach, New York|City of Long Beach]], and is in the immediate metropolitan area. The population was 2,719 at the time of the 2020 census.

==History==
Lido Beach was developed by [[William H. Reynolds (New York politician)|William H. Reynolds]], in the early 1900s.<ref name=":81">{{Cite book |last=Winsche |first=Richard |title=The History of Nassau County Community Place-Names |date=October 1, 1999 |publisher=Empire State Books |isbn=978-1557871541 |location=[[Interlaken, New York]] |pages=}}</ref> The 39-year-old former state senator and real estate developer had already developed four Brooklyn neighborhoods ([[Bedford-Stuyvesant]], [[Borough Park, Brooklyn|Borough Park]], [[Bensonhurst, Brooklyn|Bensonhurst]], and [[Brownsville, Brooklyn|South Brownsville]]), as well as [[Coney Island]]'s [[Dreamland (Coney Island, 1904)|Dreamland]], the world's largest amusement park. Reynolds also owned a theater and produced plays.<ref name=":81" />

Beginning in 1906, he gathered investors and acquired the oceanfront from private owners and the rest of [[Long Beach, New York|Long Beach]] island from the [[Town of Hempstead, New York|Town of Hempstead]].<ref name=":81" /> He planned to build a [[boardwalk (entertainment district)|boardwalk]], homes, and hotels, and dredged [[Reynolds Channel]] to create the [[Long Beach, New York]] resort area.<ref name=":81" /> The dredging made the island more accessible to leisure boating.

The Lido Beach community was named after [[Venice Lido]]  in Italy; "lido" means beach in Italian.<ref name=":81" /> In 1929, after Reynolds was defeated for re-election as the Long Beach mayor, he turned his attention to the unincorporated area just east of the city and constructed the Moorish-style Lido Beach Hotel.<ref name=":81" />
