If your coming in for the weekend and have some time to spare take the ferry from Bay Shore, NY to Ocean Beach (Fire Island) where you can go to the beach, walk through town, grab a drink and food and shop. Ocean beach also has amazing sunsets and wonderful scenery’s.
Harry and I grew up in Northport and we love walking the town, grabbing dinner and Harry loves to grab a pint at Sand City Brewery. The village has a beautiful dock to walk on and you can see all the boats in the harbor.
