With roots to the Matinecock Indians, this quaint village still has cobblestones, trolley tracks, and a sweet shoppe established in 1929. Yet Northport isn’t stuck in the past — it bustles with attractions luring visiting boaters.
Temptations include interesting shops, boutiques, and galleries close to the village dock. There’s enticing and varied cuisines from breakfast through dinner in restaurants and cafés, and an almost-obligatory ice cream cone to enjoy as you 
walk to . The park is the place to be for people and dog watching (Northport is a dog haven) and for kids to enjoy the 
playground (Northport is a kid haven). Be sure to sit in the shade of the gazebo at the end of the dock while watching boats of all sizes and types come and go.
Northport hosts a weekly farmers market down by the water on Saturdays in June through November, and the Village celebrates arts, music, and its heritage throughout the summer (as of press time, event dates were not finalized).
The village dock offers transient space on a first-come, first-served basis at no charge from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm (see dockmaster for evening and overnight fees). Seymour’s Boatyard (631-261-6574) has transient moorings and Britannia Yacht Club (631-261-5600) has transient docks — always call for availability. The public dock and Seymour’s are in the Northport Village Parkheart of the village; Britannia is a bit of a walk, but the facility has its own dining, pool, and supplies.
