Shirley spans two school districts—William Floyd School District in the southern portion and Longwood Central School District in the northern area, known locally as East Yaphank. The community features waterfront recreation opportunities at nearby beaches and Smith Point County Park. While maintaining a peaceful coastal atmosphere, Shirley offers modern infrastructure, including the Atlantic Crossing 1 submarine telecommunications cable system, which connects North America to Europe.
