New Rochelle can be a great base from which to explore New York City, and you can enjoy a more relaxed vibe to come home to at the end of the day. If you’re staying at your New Rochelle vacation rental with kids, New Roc City has plenty of family friendly activities, like a go-kart track and an ice hockey rink. New Rochelle’s most fascinating site, however, has to be the Thomas Paine Historical Site, a museum and monument dedicated to the celebrated pamphleteer and Revolutionary War hero on the site of his former country home.
New Rochelle has a large marina, and many yacht, sailing and rowing clubs dot the coast along the Long Island Sound. Water sports enthusiasts will be in their element here, zipping along the sparkling waters of the sound, and reveling in the illustrious histories of these clubs. Fishing charters leave from the piers, giving you a chance to try your hand at big game fishing, enjoy a sunset cruise, or a night fishing excursion. Beach clubs line the shore at Davenport Neck, offering exclusive waterfront recreation during the summer season. Or, families can simply pack a picnic and head to the golden crescents of sand at Five Islands Park or Hudson Park Beach.
If you’re staying at your New Rochelle vacation rental during the summer months of June, July, or August you can expect sunny days and pleasant temperatures in the 70s and 80s. This warm weather often stretches into September – and these are the perfect months for sailing on the Sound or enjoying New Rochelle’s many public parks and beaches. Fall is also a lovely time of year to visit, and ideal for sightseeing, with October usually the driest month. By contrast, winters can be cold, with temperatures dropping below freezing in January, but making for atmospheric festive shopping.
The City of New Rochelle has miles of shoreline, much of which is public parkland. The 105-acre Glen Island Park is a green space connected to New Rochelle by a drawbridge built in the 1920s. Five Islands Park, a series of islands connected by small footbridges and pathways, has family-friendly playgrounds and hiking trails to enjoy. The public beach here, and the one at Hudson Park, are attractive sweeps of golden sand that can be enjoyed at weekends. Nearby, the Leatherstocking Trail, part of the Colonial Greenway Trail, offers hikers and bikers trails to Twin Lakes and Saxon Woods.
