    Late spring through early fall is often recommended for outdoor activities, as temperatures range from around 51–83°F (10–28°C) and rainfall is moderate. Visitors find the area inviting for beach outings, festivals, and exploring parks during these months.

  • What are some things to do near Long Island?

    Long Island has sandy beaches, art galleries, vineyards, and historic estates to explore. Guests often enjoy walking along boardwalks, touring lighthouse sites, and sampling fresh seafood at locally rooted restaurants.

  • How is the weather near Long Island?

    Long Island experiences cold winters, with January averaging 25–39°F (-4–4°C), and warm summers, reaching 67–83°F (20–28°C) in July. Rain falls throughout the year, so packing layers and a rain jacket is suggested.

All about Long Island

To the east of New York City, Long Island stretches from just past John F. Kennedy International Airport all the way to Montauk, and has a personality all of its own. At its heart, it’s a comfortable suburb so many New Yorkers call home, but it’s just as vibrant of a destination, especially thanks to its 118 miles of white-sand coastline with 150 beaches on both sides. It also has its own wineries and breweries, more than 60 golf courses, art and science museums, historic landmarks, and the fanciest of mansions along its Gold Coast. And with fresh seafood and farms of every kind, the food scene is just as thrilling.

What are the top things to do in Long Island?

Fire Island

No cars are allowed on this 32-mile-long barrier island along the Atlantic coast, inherently making it an idyllic beach destination where the pace of life slows down. Along with its 17 separate communities is the 40-acre maritime Sunken Forest and 168-foot-tall Fire Island Lighthouse — the tallest on Long Island.

Gold Coast Mansions

All that glitters just might be gold here. On the northern side of Long Island from Port Washington to Centerport, the coastline is dotted with mansions so extravagant that they’ve inspired literature. Highlights include the Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium in Centerport.

Montauk Point State Park

At the far eastern point of the South Fork, the waters of the Atlantic Ocean meet the strait of the Block Island Sound, causing a phenomenon where the tides seem to race against one another. Take a hike along the shore and you might also see seals out on the rocks, or grab a board and surf the waves (surf fishing is also popular here). For a higher perspective, stop by the state’s oldest lighthouse, Montauk Lighthouse, right next door.
