Come and discover the treasures of the scenic, serene, unspoiled and unhurried North Fork.
Bring your racket and avail yourself of the tennis courts located just down street. Meander along the Main Road (25) which was recently declared a national scenic by-way and lends itself nicely to hiking and bicycling. Roadside farm stands are overflowing with fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and homemade specialties in season. During the harvest you can catch a hayride or attempt to navigate a complex corn maze. Cutting down a tree at a local Christmas tree farm and avoiding the holiday rush at the mall by shopping for unique gifts in our country stores can become a treasured holiday tradition. Farmlands stretch as far as the eye can see and picturesque farmhouses are a sight to behold with their perennial gardens spread about them. Acres of vineyards and 25 wineries beckon you to stop in, take a tour and sample award winning vintages often while providing art exhibits, food demonstrations and live music for your relaxation and enjoyment. Lovely sprawling village greens host festivals, fairs and entertainment. Quaint villages are home to antiques, gift shops and art galleries for browsing. Bells toll reassuringly in majestic white steepled churches with historic cemeteries dating back to the 1600's. Numerous museums offer a glimpse of our agricultural and seafaring past. Spend the day in Greenport, a lovely seaport town voted NY's Dream Town for 2004 where you can often view tall ships and try to catch the brass ring on an authentic 1920's carousel or ice skate in season at the new outdoor rink.
Delight to the sound of sea gulls as you explore the beautiful beaches, bays, coves and creeks that surround us. We even provide beach passes, sand chairs and towels for your convenience. Enjoy a day of beach combing, shell collecting, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, windsurfing, sunbathing or swimming. (Bring your own equipment or rent it in town). Pay a visit to Horton Point Lighthouse and learn about the other 7 lighthouses in the Town of Southold. Maybe you will find a very special place to watch a glorious sunset. Then, as dusk settles in, watch millions of stars appear and light up the dark, unobstructed skies. On Saturday nights year round you can visit our local Observatory, the Custer Institute, for a closer look at our galaxy. A hike through the Mashomack Nature Preserve on nearby Shelter Island will surely excite nature lovers who will appreciate the variety of birds and wildlife that roam freely and are native to our area. Bargain hunters will love the Tanger Outlet with nearly 180 brand name stores. Adventuresome guests may enjoy a day trip to Splish Splash Water Park or Atlantis Marine Life Aquarium. "The Hamptons", (playground of the rich and famous), are only a short ride away on the North ferry and South ferry. Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos in Connecticut are easily accessible by taking advantage of the Sea Jet and shuttle service from Orient Point.
