Where Meg grew up - Long Island’s hidden treasure is located 50 miles east of New York City, combining beauty and history with its picturesque water views and a rich maritime heritage. Port Jefferson Harbor is one of the north shore’s top destinations for boaters in the northeast and one of Long Island’s two ports for access from Connecticut. The calm waters of the harbor along with a deep draft, provide transient boaters with easy access to many unique shops, specialty restaurants, and year-round cultural activities, all within a short walk from the marina docks.
