Route description
The former shield for CR 15; all Nassau County routes have been unsigned since the 1970s.[6]

Starting from its northern end, County Route 15 starts at the intersection of Beacon Hill Road, Main Street, and Port Washington Boulevard (NY 101) in Port Washington. From there, it continues east-southeast through Port Washington, along Beacon Hill Road.[2] It then makes a sharp turn to the south, and becomes West Shore Road. CR 15 then passes the North Hempstead Beach Park (also known as Bar Beach) and the Harbor Links Country Club. Continuing south, the road passes the Town of North Hempstead Solid Waste Center and the Harbor Park Industrial Park. It then enters the Village of Flower Hill and the village's Harbor Village subdivision, along with the historic George Washington Denton House.[5][7] It then passes underneath the William Cullen Bryant Viaduct (NY 25A) and enters Roslyn.[4] Just south of the bridge, CR 15 passes Mott Avenue (also a Nassau County road), and then intersects with Old Northern Boulevard (CR 25A), where it terminates.

Nassau County Route 15 is roughly four miles (6.4 km) in length.[1]
