There are a wide variety of activities on Long Island. How about a horseback ride on the beach at sunset or a bicycling trip through the glamorous Hamptons? You could take a refreshing morning swim in the ocean or hike to the top of a lighthouse, after dining at a harborside restaurant? Long Island activities will keep you moving.
Many of Long Island parks, beaches and camping facilities are surrounded by secluded dunes, cliff-side bluffs and lighthouses. In fact, some of the world's best public beaches and parks are located on Long Island, with miles of boardwalks, beach trails, restaurants, picnic areas, and spectacular sunrises and sunsets.
Long Island is rich not only in nautical and scenic treasures, but in culinary delights as well. From a quick bite at a roadside lobster stand, where you might just spot a celebrity in casual mode, to a romantic sunset dinner watching boats come in with the day’s catch, Long Island restaurants satisfy every palette and pocketbook.
From small specialty boutiques in quaint downtown villages, to some of the most exclusive shops and shopping malls, Long Island shopping will dazzle you. Shopping in Long Island is sure to land a bargain at one of several outlet centers, including the largest outlet center in the country at Riverhead.
Whether you are looking for a five-star hotel or budget accommodations; or perhaps a charming Long Island inn near the heart of wine country; or a room with an ocean view, Long Island lodging offers visitors an array of options.
A delightful surprise to anyone new to Long Island parks is the area's abundant open space and wild life. State parks alone on Long Island encompass more than 21,000 acres of land. Facilities vary, but hiking, cycling, picnicking, rowing, fishing and ball fields are widely available.
Long Island recreation… Imagine an invigorating sunrise jog along the beach… the thrill of a “big catch” off an ocean charter boat… hiking through forests from the Long Island Sound to the Great South Bay…or driving a ball across fairways golf legends have played. Long Island is waiting to be explored.
