Oyster Bay Why it's so great: This historic hamlet is home to Teddy Roosevelt's summer house, Sagamore Hill. And in honor of this nature-loving president, his namesake Sanctuary & Audubon Center preserves 15 acres of wildlife for your strolling or hiking enjoyment. The walk-able, waterfront Downtown also boasts some charming shops, and if you're visiting in October hosts the annual Oyster Festival.
What to do: Start the day on the waterfront, where you can board the historic oyster sloop Christeen for a cruise around the bay. A hot summer day on Long Island isn't complete without some Italian ice, so stop by the Bonanza Stand on Shore Ave for a refreshing treat. Continue to explore Teddy’s humble abode, hike through the nature preserve, or take a walk beside one of the North Shore's rocky, yet scenic beaches. Finish the day with dinner at Wild Honey, a fine-dining favorite where many of New York’s rising culinary stars got their start.
