Relax in a historic fishing village on the north fork

Quaint Coastal Historic Scenic Friendly Nautical

Greenport sits on the eastern end of Long Island’s beautiful north fork. Home to a small but supportive community, Greenport accommodates tourists year round and remains accessible via train, ferry, car, or bus. Commercial fishing boats and historic buildings line the waterfront in Greenport, signifying its status as an authentic fishing village. Formerly a whaling port, Greenport is still an active ship building center.

Offbeat and sophisticated, Greenport contains Mitchell Park, which is regarded as the jewel of the north fork. In Mitchell Park, you’ll find an antique carousel, the Camera Obscura, a marina, and an ice skating rink in the wintertime. A number of museums reveal Greenport’s history, including the East End Seaport Museum, Railroad Museum of Long Island, and Fireboat Firefighter Museum. Attractions in Greenport are plentiful, with five-star restaurants, wineries, and art galleries strewn throughout the village.
