Hello Again, Melville is pretty much the center of Long Island.
With one day to see stuff I would recommend going north into the town of Huntington. There are some nice parks and museums there. Vanderbilt Museum, Mansion & Planetarium https://www.vanderbiltmuseum.org/ Vanderbilt invented the 'vanderbilt start' in yacht racing Caumsett State Park https://parks.ny.gov/parks/23/details.aspx Target Rock https://www.fws.gov/refuge/Target_Rock/about.html Where the legend has the British using the large rock for target practice during the revolutionary war Huntington has a number of nice marina's if you want to look at boats. If you want to visit an ocean beach go south to Robert Moses State Park or Jones Beach. Both are some of the best ocean beaches in the world. Don't bother trying to go east to the north fork or the hamptons. It will take too long. If you or your wife want shopping there is a large upscale mall very close by. You can't miss it. If you like aviation, the Cradle of Aviation museum of not too far away and worth a visit. https://www.cradleofaviation.org/ There is also Old Westbury Gardens and Mansion, Bethpage restoration village, And that's all I can think of in 5 minutes or less Barry Message: 3 Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2018 12:46:10 -0500 From: "Dennis C." <[email protected]> To: CnClist <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Stus-List Long Island Message-ID: <CANir+yv50_xC5z_tijUCBC_==0tjyfz10x6x0nr3l6ponps...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" I'll be in the Melville area. ********** _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
