Sands Point Preserve
In Port Washington, Sands Point Preserve is a wooded bayfront park with nature trails that's also home to the 1923 Falaise, one of the few remaining Gold Coast mansions and now a museum. East of there is the bucolic town of Oyster Bay (hometown of Billy Joel), with an even bigger claim to fame: it's home to Sagamore Hill, a National Historic Site home where Theodore Roosevelt vacationed during his presidency.

Greenport
The main North Fork town and the place for ferries to Shelter Island, Greenport is a bit more down-to-earth and affordable than most South Fork villages.
