Day Trip Out East

Where should we go? What should we do? Looking for suggestions for what to do and where to eat for a day trip.

Thanks!

We just did a day trip with 3 DC . We went to Montauk. We left at 9 and got out there at about 10:45. WE went to Hither hills state park and went right to the beach. After the beach we took showers in the bath house shower facility and changed our clothes and headed to town, where we walked around for a little bit. THen we went to a pub and ate dinner. Walked around a little more shopped got the kids ice cream and headed home. We left Montauk at about 7:30 and we were home by 9. It was a nice day trip. We try and do a day trip once a year out there.

I would

Head out east, north fork - see the farm stands and wineries! Eat at the SoundView in!

From Greenport (north fork) take a ferry over to Shelter Island. From Shelter Island, you can take a ferry to Sag Harbor and then drive into the Hamptons and even Montauk Chat Icon

We did it all in one day (though we were staying in Greenport). If you wanted to stay over for a night, I would DEFF recommend the Forham House B/B. Pam (the keeper) is the sweetest woman alive and her breakfasts are unreal Chat Icon

FM me if you have any questions, we do this a few times a year. I am one of those crazies with the NOFO sticker on my car (north fork) Chat Icon Chat Icon

Things do to -

North Fork:

Mattituck - Love Lane. Adorable shops.
Mattituck - there is a restaurant called The Old Mill Inn, hidden away up north on the water, great food.

Greenport - TONS of shopping, movies, minigolf, Claudios, there is a new brewery, antiques etc.
Greenport - The SoundView Inn. Great food, right on the sound. They also have a motel there

Oriet Point - beach, furtherest point on North Fork as Montauk is on South fork

The north fork - great wineries and farmstands all along the North Road and the main road.

South Fork:

Sag Harbor - quaint shopping area, good restaurants, water sports

Hamptons - self explainatory

Montauk - light house, beaches

Shelter Island - Not too much to do but a beautiful area to pass through.
