homeowners insurance -- living by water

I was just told that a number of insurance companies are no longer insuring homes that are within a 3 mile radius of water!

Help...what am I supposed to do? If you live near water, who are you insured by?

We live one mile from the Great South Bay and have our insurance with Liberty Mutual. We just switched in February, so I'm pretty sure they will still give coverage.

They won't take me -- they didn't even get up to the water. They said (can't remember which) it's because they've reached their quota of NYS people or East Rockaway people. Chat Icon Chat Icon
