From harbors to skyscrapers in Freeport
The Nautical Mile of Freeport is the place to go to really feel the local vibes of this old oyster fishing town at their best. It's even possible to bag freeport vacation rentals with views of the docks, and get walking access to the best seafood buffets and al fresco harbor bars that abound in that area of the village. Of course, a trip across to the awesome sights of New York City is a must. That's where you'll discover the soaring lookouts atop the Empire State Building, the delights of Central Park, MoMa the art museum – the list goes on.
Seaside fun in Freeport
Much of Freeport's relaxed character comes from its position on the edge of South Oyster Bay. You'll discover a town of bobbing fishing boats and old New Yorker sea dogs here, which means skiff rentals or a charter excursion out into the Atlantic can always be added to the menu. Apart from that, you can organize private tours of the old harbourside walks, go kayaking on the creeks of the bay, hit a round of 18 holes in the local country club, or even hop across to NYC for sightseeing that's sure to top any bucket list.
Freeport comes alive in the summer
While the endless array of mind-boggling art museums, zoos, skyscrapers, and American monuments that dots New York City proper is always in season, the harborside walks of little Freeport tend to be a summertime affair. You'll need to bag your Freeport vacation rentals for the months between June and September to find the boat hires, the kayak outfitters, the seafood buffet joints, and the local microbreweries all in full swing. A fall trip in October can also be a great choice, especially if you're looking to save dollars for those oyster platters and chowders.
Freeport is anchored on Long Island
Freeport sits on the southern edge of Long Island, just where the creeks and coastal inlets start to shoot out eastwards along the Great South Bay. The town was originally founded as a fishing outpost, and it still looks towards the sea. Reserves like Cow Meadow Park are crisscrossed with marinas and boat moorings, while the more famous Jones Beach State Park runs the whole length of the barrier islands to the south. It's there that you'll find glimmering beachfronts, sand dunes, boardwalks, and seal-spotting outlooks.
