Whether you’re here for business or pleasure, traveling alone or with 

family or friends, the Long Island Convention & Visitors Bureau and Sports 

Commission (LICVB) can be your guide to Long Island’s incredible array of 

amazing attractions. 

If you’re a first-time visitor, you’ll find there’s much to discover amid Long 

Island’s approximately 1,200 square miles. If you’re a return visitor, you’ll 

always find something new within Nassau and Suffolk counties, which 

WELCOME TO 

contain hundreds of miles of accessible coastline, and numerous attractions 

within their borders, both natural and man-made. 

With that wealth of possibilities, you’ll want to plan your visit with the 

most up-to-date and accurate information. We invite you to utilize the 

helpful services offered by the LICVB. In addition to this Long Island Travel 

Guide, the LICVB can provide maps and itineraries, as well as information 

about packages and discounts available at local attractions. (For more 

information, log on to the LICVB website, www.discoverlongisland.com.) 

Nassau and Suffolk counties contain dozens of individual communities 

with their own unique flavors and attractions. For the purposes of this 

guide, we’ve separated the island into four regions: the North Shore with 

its historic mansions and harborside villages, the South Shore with its 

renowned public beaches and sports venues, North Fork wine and farm 

country, and the South Fork, with its international resort areas of The Hamptons and Montauk. 

All four regions boast breathtaking stretches of the Atlantic Ocean or Long Island Sound, lovely parks and preserves and historic mansions. 

Long Island is also home to The Gold Coast, Jones Beach, Long Beach and Fire Island, as well as dozens of museums, historic sites (including 

lighthouses) and four dozen wineries. All lie within a short distance of the city and major airports, by car or public transport. 

For your convenience, a map of Long Island is provided on page 64, and a list of communities on page 63. For details, including great getaway 

packages and coupons, visit www.discoverlongisland.com, or call, toll-free, 1-877-386-6654.

AN OVERVIEW 

The Start of a Perfect Day 

Close your eyes and imagine a vacation destination with dazzling beaches, sun-dappled vineyards, museums 

full of masterpieces, restaurants serving incredibly fresh food and drink, world-class golf courses and international 

resort communities. 

Now open your eyes — you’re on Long Island. On your visit here, you’ll find all of these amazing attractions, and 

much more. And you can enjoy them at almost any time of year because Long Island is a year-round tourism destination. 

Visitors can also find the best of Long Island at its concert venues, wildlife preserves, malls and historic downtowns 

whether they arrive in summer, spring, winter or fall. 

And you’ll never run out of new attractions to experience and explore. With such a wide variety of things to do, 

see and experience here, in fact, you can keep busy ‘round the clock. There are literally hundreds of outstanding opportunities 

for fun and relaxation. The following pages offer an overview of the myriad ways you might spend your 

“perfect day” on Long Island. 


IF YOU HEAR THE 

Port Jefferson 

Many travelers can’t resist the charm of the 

waterfront, the sound of gulls calling and 

the scent of salt air in the breeze. You’ll find 

all this and more at Long Island’s coastal 

communities, which are arrayed from 

the NYC line out to the East End and 

include Freeport, Port Washington, 

Oyster Bay, Long Beach/Point Lookout/Atlantic 

Beach, Greenport, Cold Spring Harbor, 

Northport, Port Jefferson, Hampton Bays, Sag 

Harbor and Montauk — to name a few of the 

better known ports of call. Various shorefront communities feature 

historic boardwalks, public beaches, unique shops and restaurants 

specializing in waterfront views, fresh seafood and fancy cocktails. 

Have a seaport adventure 

To learn about Long Island’s centuries-old maritime history, you 

can visit museums and historic ports where a seafaring tradition 

continues to this day. Freeport is a historic South Shore port 

community with a colorful history and a Nautical Mile. The Long 

Island Maritime Museum in West Sayville features historic boats 

used in the area’s waters. An authentic 19th century whaleboat is 

among the collections at The Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum 

in Cold Spring Harbor. 

The Whaling Museum in Sag Harbor is located in one of America’s 

great historic whaling communities. On the North Fork, Greenport’s 

East End Seaport Museum & Marine Foundation illustrates the deepwater 

port’s shipping heyday. 

The United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point on 

Long Island’s North Shore is one of the nation’s five service academies, 

and home to the American Merchant Marine Museum. 

Take a cruise 

Explore Long Island’s coastline aboard entertainment or nature 

cruises leaving from the Great South Bay, Manhasset Bay, the Peconic 

River and other scenic waterways. You can also 

hop aboard a cruise leaving from a marina or 

port community. There are dinner, luncheon 

and brunch cruises; sunset, moonlight, dance, 

sightseeing and charter group cruises for 

weddings and parties. The following boat lines 

feature dining, nature and other special cruises. 

(Call for directions, times, prices and the type 

of cruises offered.)

Shed a spotlight on maritime history 

Imagine being perched high above Long Island for a 360-degree 

panoramic view of the coast under a dazzling blue sky! You too can 

experience that awe-inspiring view at one of our lighthouses, which 

are important aids to navigation, having guided boats and ships 

safely along the shoreline for centuries. 

Lighthouses are family-friendly attractions where you can climb 

the spiral steps for great views, or stop in a museum or gift shop. 

Overlooking the easternmost tip of Long Island, the Montauk 

Point Lighthouse was completed in 1796 at the request of 

President George Washington, and is the oldest lighthouse on 

Long Island and in New York State. Climbing its 137 spiral steps is 

worth the effort for the breathtaking views. Tours are offered March 

through December. A gift shop, museum and Lost At Sea memorial 

honoring East End fishermen are also on the premises. 

The Fire Island Lighthouse has guided ships to New York Harbor 

since 1826. It’s automated, and the keeper’s quarters house a museum/gift 

shop. Tours up the lighthouse’s 192-step tower are available 

throughout the year. A new museum located next to the lighthouse 

displays the original First Order Fresnel Lens used for 75 years, and is 


the temporary home of a timeline recounting the lighthouse’s 

story from its first lighting in 1858. 

The Horton Point Lighthouse is one of eight lighthouses 

in the township of Southold on the North Fork. It was built in 

1857 by the U.S. Coast Guard at the site originally commissioned 

in 1790 by George Washington. The lighthouse welcomes 

visitors on summer weekends to its nautical museum 

operated by the Southold Historical Society. The museum 

features paintings, whaling tools, logbooks and artifacts 

relating to the sea, sound and bay. 

The Huntington Lighthouse Preservation Society offers 

guided boat tours of the 42-foot-tall Huntington Harbor 

Lighthouse, built in 1912. The restored Execution Rocks 

Lighthouse just off Sand’s Point in Long Island Sound was built 

in 1849. Tours are given June through September. 

Cruises and excursions to Long Island’s offshore lighthouses 

are offered by East End Lighthouses, Long Island Lighthouse 

Safaris and the Long Island Chapter of the U.S. Lighthouse 

Society. They visit less accessible lighthouses, such as the 

Latimer Reef Lighthouse in Fisher’s Island Sound (the oldest 

cast-iron lighthouse still in service in the First Coast Guard 

District) and Long Beach Bar “Bug” Lighthouse, a distinctive 

Victorian structure at the entrance to Orient Harbor.

Long Island’s public parks and 

preserves are an inexpensive outlet 

for a wide variety of outdoor activities, 

from sunbathing to sport 

fishing. Nearly 60 state and 

county parks are listed throughout 

this guide and another 

40 smaller “passive” parks and 

preserves are scattered across the 

Island. Most are open year-round, 

including Long Island’s 25 state 

parks spanning tens of thousands of 

acres. Long Island’s parks offer great golf 

courses (such as the Bethpage Black where 

the U.S. Open was held in 2002 and 2009) and 

relaxing quiet spaces for picnicking. You can watch the 

sunrise at Montauk Point or marvel at a sunset over Jones Beach 

State Park. Hiking and nature trails span huge secluded parcels such as 

the Mashomack Nature Preserve on Shelter Island, and Long Island’s two 

Greenbelt Trails. Call 631-360-0753 for more Greenbelt Trail information. 

Go where the fishing’s great 

Long Island offers some of the best saltwater fishing on 

the East Coast. If you didn’t bring your own boat, you 

can still catch a seafood dinner, or a trophy fish, by 

surf-casting off beaches, fishing from a pier or renting 

a boat at a marina. There are also many “forhire” 

charter boats, as well as open boats, which 

take on single passengers. They offer trips daily 

from Freeport, Point Lookout, Montauk, Captree 

State Park in Babylon or other ports. Freshwater 

fishing is also permitted in lakes, streams and rivers 

with a New York State fishing license. Daily size and 

catch limits apply. For more about fishing Long Island waters, log on to 

www.Fishonli.com. 

IF YOU SEEK 

Cool off by the sea 

Hike a sandy trail, bathe in the 

ocean, munch a hotdog as you 

stroll the boardwalk. These 

are some of the summer 

pleasures at our world-class 

beaches, which are open 

year-round. They range from 

vast expanses of sand and 

surf on the Atlantic Ocean, to 

pebble beaches on the Long 

Island Sound and smaller beaches 

on bays and lakes. Swimming, fishing, 

beachcombing and surfing are just a few 

of the enjoyable activities. 

Paddle through the wilderness 

Kayaking is a popular activity on waterways such as the Carmans River 

in Shirley, the Connetquot River in Oakdale, the Peconic River through 

Calverton and Riverhead and the Nissequogue River in Smithtown. 

Rentals are available in most locations. The non-profit Group for the 

East End offers guided kayak tours of the South Fork during the summer 

months. Call 631-537-1400 for more information. 

Go up, up and away 

A number of high-flying outfits send you into the wild blue yonder. 

Skydive Long Island offers skydiving with spectacular views of the 

Atlantic Ocean, Peconic Bay and LI Sound. Located off Route 25 on 

Grumman Blvd. Open April-November. Call for hours and rates. Info: 

www.skydivelongisland.com (631-208-3900). 

For more thrills try Sky Sailors at Gabreski Airport (also known as 

Suffolk Airport) in Westhampton Beach (631-288-5858) or American

summer fun at Splish Splash Water Park 

in Riverhead. 

The Children’s Museum of the East End

Local Flavors 

If you’re a fan of fresh produce, you’ve come to the right island. The East End of Long Island is 

home to one of New York State’s great agricultural regions, where farms, owned and operated by 

the same families for generations, harvest healthy and scrumptious broccoli, cauliflower, apples, 

peaches and so much more. Many local restaurants, especially on the East End, specialize in 

serving local produce from the harvest directly to your table. 

Dining out on Long Island introduces you to a world of distinctly local flavors. Because the sea 

surrounds Long Island, restaurants here can take advantage of one of the world’s great fisheries and 

serve the freshest seafood possible. Many seafood restaurants are located a few steps from a fishing 

fleet that brings in their fresh catch daily. Whether your choice is striped bass, clams, scallops or any 

number of other local seafood delicacies, you’ll have a memorable meal here. 

And no locally flavored meal is complete without a glass of Long Island wine. An amazing array 

of wines including red, white, rose and Champagne are produced in Long Island Wine Country, 

making for delightful pairings by the glass or bottle with that savory fresh Long Island seafood 

and produce. 

If you ever wanted to taste the freshest ingredients available, paired with a great beverage, this is your golden opportunity. Bon appétit! 

crops. You can also “Pick-your-own” strawberries 

in June, peas, tomatoes and peaches 

during the summer months, and apples and 

pumpkins during September and October.

Explore wine country 

Long Island Wine Country has become a 

major wine-producing region and currently 

boasts about 3,000 acres of vineyards and 

four dozen wineries with tasting rooms. 

Their products including Merlot, Chardonnay, 

Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon 

have earned international praise. The wine 

industry is centered in the Town of Southold, 

and is also active in the neighboring Town of 

Riverhead, and, on the South Fork, and on 

the grounds of the historic Meadow Croft 

estate in Sayville. 

Most wineries are open year-round for 

tasting, tours and events, and offer their 

products for sale. Some offer concerts, art 

exhibits, food pairings, 

barrel tastings and 

seasonal activities such 

as harvest fests. For a free

THE GREAT GATSBY’S 

A new 3D movie adaptation of The Great 

Gatsby starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which is 

scheduled to open at theaters in May, is expected 

to put a renewed spotlight on Nassau 

County’s Gold Coast. That’s where F. Scott 

Fitzgerald both wrote and set his legendary 

1925 literary classic. 

The Gold Coast of Fitzgerald and Gatsby’s 

Jazz Age was a bastion of wealth and opulence 

immortalized in what many believe to 

be the Great American Novel. That novel has 

several strong connections to Long Island, 

both through its author and the setting of his 

story. The connection to the author is that a 

portion of The Great Gatsby was actually written 

while Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, lived 

from 1922 to 1924 in a house in Great Neck 

near the Port Washington line, which is now a 

private residence. 

In the novel, art imitates life. The Gatsby 

mansion is located in the fictional West Egg 

(Kings Point at the end of the Great Neck 

Peninsula) and the Buchanan house in East Egg 

(Sands Point on the Port Washington Peninsula.) 

Although the exact locations of the mansions 

that inspired Fitzgerald aren’t known for certain, 

visitors can tour similarly grand homes. 

To get a feel for The Great Gatsby’s world, 

visit the Gold Coast, where over a dozen estates 

have been converted to public use. (You won’t, 

however, see any landmarks from the current 

film, which reportedly was filmed in Sydney, 

Australia.) See mansions on page 28.

IF... 

Dozens of public courses, ranging from pitch-and-putt to huge 

golf complexes, are carved into Long Island’s open meadows, wooded 

parklands and rolling hillsides. You can tee off near a scenic waterfront, 

on the legendary Gold Coast, or in the fabulous Hamptons. 

Many golfing greats have played on Long Island – home to a 

number of the sport’s great courses. Bethpage State Park is considered 

the largest public golf facility in the world; it features five 

18-hole regulation golf courses: the Black, Red, Blue, Green and 

Yellow. The Black Course in 2002 became the first publicly owned 

and operated facility to host the U.S. Open in the golf tournament’s 

102-year history. The U.S. Open was again held at the 

Bethpage Black Course in 2009, which also hosted The Barclays 

PGA event in 2012. 

The private Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, 

founded in 1891 as the first golf club in America, hosted the U.S. 

Open in 1896, 1986, 1995 and 2004. Montauk Downs is considered 

one of the finest public golf courses in the nation. Another 

outstanding public golf facility is located at Eisenhower Park in 

East Meadow. 

From June 24-30, the 2013 U.S. Women’s Open of golf is being 

held at Sebonack Club in Southampton. (See full details at right.)

towns have their own monuments. The 

Southold Civil War monument was 

erected in 1887 to honor the memory of 

local soldiers who fought for the Union. It 

stands at the intersection of Main Street 

and Tuckers Lane, Southold.

North Shore 


For a window into what life was like when 

Long Island was the playground of the very rich, a visit 

to the North Shore is essential. It is here that F. Scott 

Fitzgerald penned his classic Roaring Twenties novel, 

The Great Gatsby, inspired by the glamorous lifestyles 

of the North Shore’s rich and famous residents. Nowadays, 

some of those surviving Gold Coast mansions 

still draw crowds – of tourists – as do the North Shore’s 

breathtaking Long Island Sound views, upscale shopping 

areas and stellar parks, museums and beaches. 

See where Washington, Whitman and Roosevelt slept 

The North Shore is among the nation’s oldest 

settled areas. In 1790, President George Washington 

made a well documented tour of the region, visiting a 

number of local landmarks. In the 19th Century, Walt 

Whitman was born in Huntington and wrote his first 

poetry here. Theodore Roosevelt, an American hero 

and the youngest man ever to become U.S. President 

(at age 43), was a Long Islander who lived in Oyster Bay 

from 1885 until his death in 1919. 

On the North Shore, you can visit the Walt 

Whitman Birthplace in West Hills, Huntington, and 

Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, Teddy Roosevelt’s 

Summer White House in Oyster Bay. 

The area, often referred to as the Gold Coast, also 

contains some of the largest and most lavish mansions 

ever built in the United States. You can visit a number of 

these architectural wonders, which have been preserved 

as museums, historic homes or university campuses. 

Walk around a historic port 

Waterfront dining and seaside strolls are among the 

pleasures of the North Shore’s historic port 

communities. Port Washington, Sea Cliff, Oyster Bay, 

Port Jefferson, Stony Brook and other communities 

offer sailboat-dotted harbor views, nautical museums, 

shops and restaurants. Dining and shopping are a 

delightful experience anywhere on the North Shore. 

Go shopping! 

From the Walt Whitman Mall in Huntington and 

Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove, to high-end shops in 

Garden City, Great Neck and the Americana Manhasset, 

to quaint Stony Brook Village, you can find a wide 

range of merchandise for all tastes – all a quick drive 

from major roads. 

Discover unique attractions 

Along the North Shore you can visit a Whaling 

Museum, a Holocaust Memorial, and art, history and 

science museums. You can explore a lighthouse, grist mills, 

a general store, arboretums, university campuses, a DNA 

learning center, a fish hatchery and a planetarium. 

The flowers, gardens and landscaped grounds are 

glorious at Old Westbury Gardens, as well 

as at Planting Fields Arboretum State 

Historic Park in Oyster Bay. In the 

Pine Barrens out east, Wildwood 

State Park comprises 600 acres of 

hardwood forest on a high bluff 

that overlooks Long Island Sound.

South Shore 


The South Shore of Long Island is one of New York 

State’s premier family-oriented recreation areas. The region 

starts just over the Queens border of New York City 

and stretches for nearly 50 miles. It’s a region of nearly 

never-ending fun whether you like miles of beaches, 

parks with boundless recreational opportunities, nationally 

known shopping malls or superb restaurants. You 

can experience major sports thrills, museums, fishing 

and boating. 

Play in the sand 

The South Shore region boasts some of the nation’s 

outstanding beaches. Jones Beach State Park in Wantagh 

is a national gem where millions of people come to play 

every year on a seven-mile Atlantic strand, or stroll a 

historic boardwalk. 

Long Beach’s boardwalk and beach on the Atlantic 

Ocean are within a few minutes stroll of a city brimming 

with restaurants and nightlife. 

For a relaxing break from the daily grind, hop on 

a ferry from Bay Shore, Sayville or Patchogue to Fire 

Island. This unique barrier island features 17 distinct 

communities, and the Fire Island National Seashore, 

offering year-round fun for everyone. (For an update on 

post-Hurricane Sandy state and national parks restoration 

and reconstruction, see the Welcome page). 

Cheer for a winner 

Fans of spectator sports can look forward to an array 

of sporting seasons and special events throughout the 

year. The May-to-October thoroughbred racing season 

at Belmont Park in Elmont includes the Belmont Stakes. 

Each June, this thrilling event brings the exciting Triple 

Crown finale of thoroughbred racing to Long Island. 

Bethpage State Park encompasses five premier golf 

courses, including the Black course, where the U.S. Open 

of golf was held in 2002 and again in 2009. 

The New York Islanders NHL hockey team plays 

home games at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum 

in Uniondale, October through April. The Long Island 

Ducks play exciting minor-league ball at Bethpage Ballpark 

in Central Islip. 

See the universe 

On Museum Row, you can pack a world of enjoyment 

into a single day — especially if you brought the kids 

along. The Garden City multi-museum complex includes 

the Long Island Children’s Museum; the Cradle of Aviation 

Museum, and its newest attraction, a planetarium 

with three sky shows. The complex also includes the 

Nassau County Firefighters Museum & Education Center 

and Historic Nunley’s Carousel. 

Explore a park 

Looking for wide open spaces to ride a bike, play 

ball or have a picnic? Try visiting one of our state and 

county parks. You can also fish, golf, hike, play games 

and pursue myriad other activities in these grand public 

facilities, for the price of a small parking fee. 

The view at the zoo 

Take a gander at animals ranging from deer, pigs and 

goats, to more exotic tigers, monkeys and even kangaroos! 

They reside within the South Shore’s four zoos. 

You’re not through yet … 

Take a dip in one of our public pools, stay overnight 

at a campground, or climb the steps of a lighthouse. You 

can fish from a park pier, or board a fishing boat in Point 

Lookout, Freeport or the Captree Boat Basin. You can 

see a show at indoor facilities ranging from the Nassau 

Veterans Memorial Coliseum to the Gateway Playhouse 

and the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts. 

And many visitors stop to sample a glass of wine at the 

region’s only winery, in Sayville.

PLAY ON A 

The South Shore is known worldwide for 

its wonderful public beaches. South Shore 

beaches are a perfect destination for lovers 

of sand, surf and sports. Two barrier islands 

protect the Nassau County mainland and its 

inhabitants from the Atlantic’s sometimes 

rough seas, producing, in the ocean’s wake, 

some of the world’s most exquisite beaches. 

White sand stretches for miles along Nassau 

County’s South Shore. 

The waters of Nassau County’s South Shore 

beaches are great for riding waves, whether you 

own a surf board or just want to body surf. 

From the west, the first barrier island is 

Long Beach with its beachfront communities 

of Atlantic Beach, Lido Beach and Point 

Lookout. At the center of the barrier island 

is the bustling City of Long Beach with its 

residential population and renowned 

boardwalk. Long Beach is also a historic 

beach community that during its 1920s 

heyday rivaled Atlantic City and Miami 

Beach. The two-and-one-half mile Long 

Beach Boardwalk on the Atlantic Ocean 

welcomes beachgoers, surfers and rollerbladers 

year round. After dark, Long Beach 

hums with nightlife. Park Avenue in Long 

Beach is lined with many shops and restaurants 

and leads east to the communities of Lido 

Beach and Point Lookout, also havens of 

beaches and restaurants. 

Eastward, world-famous 

Jones Beach State Park 

in Wantagh is a 

glittering 2,000- 

acre playland 

at the southern end of the Wantagh 

and Meadowbrook Parkways. The big 

attractions include The Jones Beach Boardwalk 

lined with beautiful historic buildings, the 

Nikon at Jones Beach Theatre, and, of course, 

the seven miles of sparkling sand. 

In Suffolk County, the South Shore barrier 

beaches rank among the most scenic parks 

in New York State. The westernmost island 

includes the seaside communities and town 

beaches of Gilgo Beach, Cedar Beach and 

Oak Beach and ends at the Captree State 

Park Boat Basin. Suffolk’s other barrier island 

is Fire Island, designated a federal National 

Seashore. The island is 32 miles long, separated 

from the mainland by the Great South 

Bay. It extends from Robert Moses State Park 

in the west to Smith Point County Park in 

the east, both accessible by auto bridges. In 

between, and mainly accessible by passenger 

ferry, are 17 small communities.

ESCAPE TO THE 

Fire Island offers a wide range of tourist 

attractions within the narrow shores of the 

region’s most secluded barrier island. 

A brief ferry ride from Bay Shore, 

Patchogue and Sayville on Suffolk County’s 

South Shore, Fire Island is an internationally 

known destination. And yet for all its renown, 

Fire Island’s vibe is decidedly off-the-beaten 

track. The 17 beachfront communities 

include the incorporated villages of Saltaire 

and Ocean Beach (the latter considered the 

social and commercial hub of the island), 

laidback Kismet and Lonelyville, and Davis 

Park, which has a 200-boat marina. 

During the peak season from Memorial 

Day to Labor Day, crowds gather at restaurants 

and bars, which serve cocktails to 

a Reggae or Calypso beat. The nightclubs 

include some very popular spots in the traditionally 

gay communities of Cherry Grove 

and The Pines. 

In true “vacation getaway” fashion, passenger 

cars are not permitted on the island. 

Visitors generally transport supplies across 

the bay via private boat or ferry and then 

load them into wagons. Small independent 

stores sell necessities such as bathing suits, 

sandals, sunscreen, drinks and ice cream. 

Many day-trippers come for the beaches 

and the nightlife. Family or group house 

rentals and shares can be arranged, generally 

in advance, for all or part of the season. 

Overnight lodgings range from small hotels 

to B&Bs. 

The main attraction is the Fire Island 

National Seashore (FINS), which stretches 

between Robert Moses State Park and Smith 

Point County Park. East of Robert Moses 

State Park, on the west end of Fire Island, 

is the historic Fire Island Lighthouse, built 

in 1826. It has a museum and gift shop, and 

offers tours of the 192-step tower. FINS also 

contains wilderness trails with plentiful wildlife 

including deer and foxes, and the Sunken 

Forest, a maritime woodland estimated to be 

between 200-300 years old. For information 

on guided tours, call the Fire Island National 

Seashore at 631-289-4810.

North Fork

Picturesque farms with fresh produce for sale… bucolic vineyards serving fine wine… secluded beaches 

These are just a few of the pleasures that make a visit to the North Fork so delightful and delicious. 

The North Fork is a region of extraordinary natural beauty, with agricultural traditions and history 

dating to pre-Colonial Days. Shop for produce and flowers at secluded farm stands along winding country 

roads, discover quiet beachfronts on the Long Island Sound or Peconic Bay, and savor the products of 

Long Island Wine Country with its growing list of vineyards and wineries. Although the North Fork is 

accessible by public roads and transportation, many arrive via a scenic ferry ride to Orient Point from 

New London, Conn. 

The region’s vineyards, wineries and wines have earned excellent reviews and many prizes. At 

“pick-your-own” farms, you can gather strawberries in June, tomatoes, peppers, peaches and apples in 

summer and pumpkins in October. You can purchase fruit pies, roasted local corn, homemade preserves 

and other cooked treats at farm stands. 

For many visitors, the big attraction is Riverhead, an emerging tourist destination including the huge 

Splish Splash Water Park, Riverhead Raceway and the Long Island Aquarium & Exhibition Center. The 

Tanger Outlet Center just off I-495 in Riverhead features more than 165 brand-name outlets. The newest 

Riverhead attraction is The Suffolk Theater, a 500-seat concert hall inside a restored historic structure, 

with state-of-the-art amenities amid 1930s Art Deco design. You can go antiquing at small shops in quaint 

North Fork villages. Food shops located in the North Fork’s small downtown areas specialize in putting 

together packages of cheese, chocolate and fruit, which can be paired with the vintages at a nearby winery. 

In Greenport, you can enjoy seafood and shopping at one of Long Island’s historic deep water ports. 

In addition to the harborfront restaurants and arts & crafts galleries, there’s an all-weather carousel, and 

the East End Seaport Museum & Marine Foundation. A ferry makes regular trips to picturesque Shelter 

Island, with its charming bed & breakfast inns and 2,039-acre Mashomack Preserve.

TOUR THE 

If you’re looking for warm hospitality, gorgeous scenery, and a world-class wine-drinking experience, take 

a trip to Long Island Wine Country. The Long Island wine industry began almost 40 years ago and 

is now a major New York State agricultural phenomenon. The region encompasses almost 3,000 

acres of vines and about four dozen wineries with tasting rooms. Most of the Island’s vineyards 

produce six million bottles of Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and other 

varietals each year. They are concentrated in the Town of Southold, with several more in the 

Town of Riverhead. The region produces many kinds of wine grapes but is especially noted 

for Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Shiraz. 

Most wineries are open year-round for tasting, tours and events. Stroll along vineyards, 

step inside wine cellars stacked with fine oak barrels of aging wine and sample the 

season’s harvest. Raise a glass lounging inside elegant tasting rooms or seated on an outdoor 

deck. The view often includes the vineyard where the grapes were grown and harvested. All wineries 

offer their products for sale and some even display local artists’ work or provide live music for 

guests on weekends. 

Before making the trip to wine country, call the wineries to confirm their hours and days of operation or visit www.discoverlongisland.com. 

For a free winery guide, call the Long Island Wine Council at 

631-722-2220 or write P. O. Box 74, Peconic, NY 11958. You can

South Fork

For a unique Long Island experience, visit the Hamptons and Montauk, the string of charming historic communities 

located in the region known as The South Fork. Ranging from posh enclaves to working ports and nightlife hotspots, 

they feature upscale shops, trendy restaurants and world-class beaches, as well as vintage clothing and antique 

shops, and inexpensive attractions such as museums, historic windmills and centuries-old Colonial sites. 

What’s new on the South Fork? For the first time on Long Island, the U.S. Women’s Open is being held in Southampton 

in June. And, the venerable Parrish Art Museum will be showcasing more of its art than ever after reopening inside a 

new, much larger building in Water Mill. Other year-round South Fork attractions include Guild Hall in East Hampton, 

the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center, the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, and, in Bridgehampton, The 

Children’s Museum of the East End (CMEE) and the South Fork Natural History Museum & Nature Center. 

If you enjoy outdoor activities, on the South Fork you can go sailing, power-boating and fishing in one of the 

nation’s great playlands, or biking or hiking in beautiful parks and preserves. The South Fork also features numerous 

farm stands and three wineries. 

Although known internationally as a summer community, The South Fork continues to thrive, albeit at a slower 

pace, year-round. Signature events include the summer season-ending Hampton Classic Horse Show and the 

Hamptons International Film Festival in October.

OF THE EAST END 

The East End’s beautiful scenery 

not only features beaches, farmland 

and picturesque villages, but also rare 

and historic wooden windmills, 11 of 

which survive from the late 1700s and 

early 1800s. 

With oversized blades and wood-shingle 

construction, the East End’s windmills were 

originally created by skilled artisans to 

convert wind into energy through the 

rotation of a wheel powered by the blades. 

Windmills show what Long Island’s 

past was like, and also provide a history 

and science lesson for children. Although 

modern technology put most windmills 

out of business, interest in wind technology 

is enjoying resurgence as an energyefficient 

alternative to fossil fuels. In some 

cases, windmill museums allow children 

to participate in hands-on activities. 

The following are some of the restored 

historic East End windmills currently 

available for public viewing:

Old Hook Mill and Gardiner Windmill.

Fishing 

The South Fork attracts anglers of all 

ages and interests for fishing trips in canals, 

sheltered bays and the wide ocean. You can 

drop a fishing line in the Shinnecock Canal, 

or board a charter boat in Hampton Bays, 

the latter a historic commercial and sport 

fishing capital located between the Atlantic 

Ocean, and Shinnecock and Peconic bays. 

Other places to fish include Sag Harbor, 

and Three Mile Harbor in East Hampton. 

However, the best known South Fork 

attraction for anglers is Montauk. Charter 

and open boats leave Montauk for the 

open ocean to seek big gamefish such as 

tuna and sharks. And one of the great 

surf-casting spots in the world is found at 

the foot of the Montauk Point Lighthouse. 

On many a fall day, dozens of anglers cast 

from the rocky shoreline for striped bass 

and bluefish. 

Those famous 

Hamptons beaches 

Hamptons beaches are heralded as some 

of the best in the world, offering visitors 

50 miles of uncrowded fun in the sand. 

Their reputation goes beyond the local 

scene to attract national recognition. 

Stephen P. Leatherman of Florida International 

University (aka Dr. Beach) has rated 

Coopers Beach in Southampton and Main 

Beach in East Hampton among the top 10 

beaches in America. 

Ocean and bay-lovers have their pick of 

beaches and activities. While some beaches 

are geared toward families, with sandcastle 

contests and quiet sunbathing, other 

beaches draw the college and 20-something 

crowds, with surfing, volleyball competitions, 

rock bands and clubs. All offer a great 

opportunity for a leisurely stroll or more 

strenuous jog down the shoreline to take 

in the hypnotic sights, sounds and smells 

of thrashing ocean waves, and a chance to 

recharge from the stresses of daily life. And 

when the weather cools down, a brisk win-

ter beach stroll offers the ultimate solitude, 

where the shoreline becomes all your own, 

but for a strolling seagull or two. 

Bordered by high dunes and bluffs, many 

beaches are lined with opulent mansions 

and award-winning resorts, denoting the 

Hamptons’ exclusive aura. The bay waters 

surrounding the Hamptons, reaching from 

Westhampton to Montauk Point, are also a 

magnet for boating, fishing and windsurfing. 

Indeed, the area abounds with maritime 

charm, with quaint villages and noted restaurants 

complementing its aura as a haven 

for celebrities. Parking and/or non-resident 

entrance fees are required for most beaches 

from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day. 

Check with the local chamber of commerce, 

village or town hall for specific fees, 

as prices may vary.

SEE A DAZZLING 

SUNRISE IN 

Montauk, a famous resort town located just east of the Hamptons, 

combines both trendy and traditional attractions. Watching sunrise from 

a Montauk beach is a longstanding tradition. 

The End, as Montauk is nicknamed, features trendy nightlife clubs, 

upscale restaurants, ritzy lodgings and yacht-filled marinas. But in 

Montauk you can also enjoy more modest pleasures. You can go fishing 

for anything from fluke and striped bass to shark and other gamefish. 

You can go horseback riding on the beach, sightseeing at the Montauk 

Point Lighthouse or shopping in an open-air market. At restaurants right 

on the waterfront, you can order some of the freshest seafood you’ll find 

anywhere – lobster being a local specialty. 

Montauk is an international seaside resort community with outstanding 

beaches, golf, fishing and boating. The Montauk area is also home 

to several state parks and one of Long Island’s most famous landmarks, 

the Montauk Point Lighthouse. Montauk Point’s dazzling coast attracts 

surfers, hikers and anglers who cast from the rocky, windswept beach. 

Whether you are taking a tranquil walk along the beach at sunrise, or 

dining alfresco as the sun sets on the horizon, the views and serenity 

of the waterfront are sure to launch a daydream or two about maybe 

extending your visit here on Long Island a little longer. K1 

The stage is set, the fun starts in Iune.
