Located around 35 miles from New York City via Grand Central Parkway, the Incorporated Village of Freeport is nestled on the South Shore in Long Island. This bedroom suburb with a commercial waterfront is the second biggest hamlet of New York State. Enjoy a boating and fishing trip from New York through the southern canals connecting the Atlantic Ocean.
Explore the fauna thriving in salt marshland on charter or open-water fishing boats that can be hired from Freeport. Visit during the first week in June to enjoy the Nautical Mile Festival in summer and taste local seafood delicacies like crabs, clams, oysters and mussels from the restaurants, bars, crab shacks and fish markets. Get on a casino boat or cruise ship, enjoy walking along the boardwalk and marina at Sea Breeze Park or visit the Freeport Memorial Library. Acting as the gateway to Jones Beach, Freeport can be reached from Manhattan within 45 minutes through Long Island Railroad.
