5 Things to Do in Port Jefferson Before Summer is Gone

Say it ain't so, but alas, all good things must come to an end.

We don't really want to talk about it, but soon buses will be heading down neighborhood roads and leaves will be falling. Yes, summer is coming to an end, so instead of lamenting, let's jam in as much warm weather fun while the sun is still high in the sky and the ocean waters are still warm.

Here are four warm weather classics and a new one to try before the summer sun sets.

Eat a meal outside
You live in Port Jefferson for crying out loud! We sure hope that by now you've dined in town at least once on a patio or a deck. If you are a veteran in this category, try the Graceful Rose, which recently added an outdoor dining area.

Grab a cone or a cup of your favorite frozen stuff
Ice cream tastes better in the summer, right? So does frozen yogurt and there's no shortage of either in the village. 

Shop the Farmers Market
It's outside, it's fresh and it's almost gone. There's still time to grab the summer's best tomatoes, lettuces and herbs. Not only does it tastes good, but you will feel good when you support our small farms. 

Beaching it.

Got your toes in the sand yet this summer? We are footsteps away from the shore. Swim the sound, have a picnic lunch or dinner, paddle a kayak or just gaze. Go now and go often.

Stand Up Paddleboarding

C'mon, you know you want to try it. It looks almost as cool as surfing but hey, we live on the North Shore so save that for Montauk. Head to Danford's Marina and give it a go.
