Discover Long Island, New York City's beachfront backyard. Long Island has many attractions that you must see, but of those attractions two stand out: the beaches and wineries. Some of the best beaches in the northeast live on Long Island. There are those close to Manhattan, like Jones Beach, and those a bit further out, like East Hampton's Main Beach. A day at either is a must for anyone looking for pristine sand, waves and clear water warm enough to dive into.
