Great Escapes: Long Island

Over 20 thematically organized weekend getaways throughout all corners of Long Island, including the Belmont Stakes, Shelter Island, Montauk, and more.

From the old “Gold Coast” of Long Island’s North Shore, made famous by F. Scott Fitzgerald, to the sparkling waters of Jones Beach, the Hamptons and Montauk, Great Escapes: Long Island provides a series of itineraries for packing in all there is to do and see on Long Island. There’s something for everyone―from fishing to family fun to wine tours and food tours to visits to little-known historic sites. Each itinerary offers an in-depth narrative about the destination along with pertinent recommendations for lodging, dining, shopping, and sightseeing. 60 black-and-white photos
