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.
