In his later years, Lombardo lived in Freeport, Long Island, New York where he kept "Tempo", "Tempo VI", and "Tempo VII" (built in 1955). He invested in a nearby seafood restaurant called "Liota's East Point House" that eventually became "Guy Lombardo's East Point House". Lombardo became promoter and musical director of Jones Beach Marine Theater. The venue was built with him in mind by Robert Moses, a fan of Lombardo. One of Lombardo's productions at Jones Beach was "Paradise Island" in 1961. His final production there was the 1977 staging of "Finian's Rainbow" with Christopher Hewett in the title role.
