This is our local winery, just up the street from our house. They serve amazing food and the wine is delicious, too!
For fun and beautiful beaches, take the ferry to Fire Island from Bay Shore or Sayville. Cherry Grove in Fire Island has their annual Fire Island Invasion on the 4th so it may be busy, but guaranteed to be a good time! https://www.nyhistory.org/blogs/the-invasion-of-the-pines-cherry-groves-beloved-4th-of-july-tradition
A beautiful state beach on the Atlantic Ocean. White, soft sand and a place for snacks and drinks. You can also see the lighthouse from here. It can get busy in the summer though! You can find seashells at this beach too :) Field 5 is our favorite place to park. It may cost $8-10 to enter.
Salt Shack on Cedar Beach is a fun summer hang out. You can also skip the bar and just go straight to the beach! Just tell the parking attendant you are going to the Salt Shack and you won’t need to pay or show a resident parking sticker.
This is our local beach/park and it’s also where we had our engagement photos taken! There is a gorgeous hiking trail, a mile long boardwalk to walk along, places to get food and drinks and of course, gorgeous white sand! You can find seashells at this beach too :) It may cost $8-10 to enter with a car.
Northport Village is a historic Main Street with adorable shops and restaurants, and a park with amazing sunset views. Come here for a coffee at Copenhagen bakery, beer at Sand City brewery and a cheese board at Brew Cheese.
A casino that is right next to the hotel, we haven’t been there yet but looks like a good time.
