CR 15 then becomes a divided highway and passes the North Hempstead Beach Park (also known as Bar Beach) and the Harbor Links Country Club. Continuing south, the road soon becomes undivided once again and passes the Town of North Hempstead Solid Waste Center, the Hempstead Harbor Shoreline Park, and the Harbor Park Industrial Park. It then enters the Village of Flower Hill and the village's Harbor Village housing development, along with the historic George Washington Denton House.

[5] Just south of the bridge, CR 15 passes Mott Avenue (CR D63), and then intersects with Old Northern Boulevard (CR D71 / CR 7A), where it terminates. [3] [8] [9]
