Visit Long Island’s North Shore and challenge yourself on world-class golf courses, explore Gold Coast mansions and hike bluff-top trails overlooking the calm waters of the Long Island Sound.

Long Island’s North Shore is a place rich in history dating back to the Revolutionary War when George Washington traveled from what is now the North Shore’s Northern Boulevard across Long Island to thank his spy ring. The luxurious North Shore lifestyle is also deep routed, harkening back to an era where well-to-do families like the Vanderbilts, Guggenheims and Phipps made this spot their suburban getaway and summer retreat.

Lighthouses

Most people can quickly and readily identify two major Long Island lighthouses, the Fire Island Lighthouse and the Montauk Lighthouse. But after that most people, even native Long Islanders, are stumped to think of any others. As a region dependent on the sea, which has not always been kind to passing ships, the lighthouse has become a vital institution on Long Island. Their preservation has been the consuming work of concerned groups dedicated to seeing that the legacy and heritage of these beautiful structures, now enjoying a popular resurgence, get passed on to future generations.
