Orient Beach State Park

Reviewed By howards50 - Albany, United States

Great state park on the eastern end of the North Fork of LI. It has a nice beach on Gardiner's Bay, a bathhouse with showers and toilets, picnic tables and a play ground. Since there are trees there, you can sit in shadded areas if you are not a big fan of the sun. I went there to kayak in Hallock Bay which is a protected bay with about six miles of shoreline You can also rent kayaks there. if you bring your own kayak, make sure to stop by the rental shop to get the low down on kayaking at the park.

Sparkling Pointe Vineyards & Winery

Reviewed By longislandtravels - Long Island, United States

I come here yearly with my sister, BIL & their kids but due to covid restrictions this year, they did not allow kids which was a bummer but understandable. I believe they only take reservations now so do this before you arrive. When you arrive, you have to wait in your car until you get a text which then someone will get you and bring you in. You have to wear a mask walking in and anytime your server comes over. You also have to order one food item under new NYS law. Honestly, they are taking every single precaution necessary to make sure every patron feels safe during this time and I really appreciate that. Beyond the new protocols in place, more importantly their sparkling wines are delicious and they are always a highlight on my trip out east!

Reviewed By love2travel1207 - Syosset, United States

We love this place. We just started finally going out to places since COVID hit. We came here for their peach festival and watermelon festival this August. They have a lot to do for kids and adults. It’s initially free to walk in and walk around and get food. There is a place to get wine inside a wine bar. If you want to go to the bigger place inside, you have to pay per person. Kids under 2 are free. Inside the part that you have to pay, there is a kids car driving area, a place to feed animals, an obstacle course, a play area for sports, family size foosball, hay rides, jumbo jumpers, play ground, maze and pig races. One of our favorite foods here is the panini with mozzarella and cheese. It is so amazing. They also make really great lemonade - not too sweet or sour. The only negative experience we had was the girls who operated the ice cream place closed it early at 6:30 three times that we came here even though they close at 7 with no warning. The last time we went we made it because we learned they randomly can close early. Everyone else is really amazing here.
