Address:Greenport, New York

The beaches of Long Island's North Fork are not just for those people who made a wrong turn when they got to Riverhead. Greenport, New York beaches are very different than their South Shore cousins. One of the more popular destinations, Norman Klipp Marine Park Beach, located on New York's Greenport Harbor, is perfect for a relaxing day of swimming, fishing, kayaking or just enjoying the waterfront grill and picnic areas.

Remember, if you are headed out on the LIE, veer left when you reach the fork and if you get to Orient Point, you went to far. If you hit Montauk, long Island you took the wrong fork. And for trivia lovers, Norman Klipp was elected Supervisor of the Town of Southold in 1947. We suspect that there are still some people around who voted for his opponent, since many locals refer to the beach as Gull Pond Beach.
