There are several points of interest near your Southold Town vacation rental that warrant time away from your beach towel. Don't know your Orion from your Big Dipper? At the Custer Institute and Observatory, Long Island's oldest observatory, you can take in the starry night sky and learn about the constellations. Alternatively, take a visit to the Horton Point Lighthouse, which has been keeping passing ships safe since the mid-19th century, or learn about the native Indians which once inhabited Long Island and view an impressive collection of arrowheads and other artifacts from those days.
Southold Town is where family adventures are made. If you've brought the kids, they'll love the water-based activities, which range from sea kayaking to sailing. Alternatively, you can dive into a fishing store for bait and try your hand at reeling in supper to take back to your Southold vacation rental. Coastal hiking is always popular, as is cycling along the country lanes. There are seasonal activities too. In late summer, you can swing by one of the local fruit or vegetable farms with the little ones, to get them picking their own produce.
Your stay in a Southold Town can be drastically different depending on the time of year that you visit. During summertime, families escape stuffy New York City and head 100 miles east to Long Island for time by the sea. It's certainly the hottest time to visit but also the most crowded. While the shoulder seasons might be a little cooler, that's the only sacrifice you'll have to make in return for a quieter vacation and a dip in rental prices. Winter sees Southold deserted by travelers, but the dramatic weather can be wonderful in your cozy Southold Town vacation rental.
Nestled along miles of shoreline on nearby Shelter Island, the Mashomack Preserve has one of the densest wildlife populations in the north-east. The preserve has been part of the Nature Conservancy since 1980 and takes up more than 2,000 acres and more than a 1/3 of the island. Its forest, marshland and tidal creeks provide habitats for many birds, but the highlight is sightings of nesting ospreys, one of the largest populations along the East Coast, along with piping plovers and terns. The calm salt marshes also serve as an important breeding ground for young marine life.
