Long Island is considered a haven for residents and visitors alike. The longest and largest island in the contiguous United States, Long Island stretches over 100 miles from New York City to Montauk Point, offering pristine Atlantic Ocean beaches on its famous South Shore and quaint towns on its North Shore.

Whether you enjoy fabulous art galleries and museums, exceptional fishing spots, pristine golf courses, great restaurants, amazing wineries, beautiful bike trails, or white sandy beaches, there’s virtually something for everyone. For those raising a family, Long Island is also known for its friendly communities, cultural and historic institutions, and numerous family attractions including the Long Island Aquarium, children’s museums, water and amusement parks,  animal farms, petting zoos and more. Long Island is also home to many excellent public and private schools.

Located in the northern center of the island, Stony Brook is also close to the excitement of Manhattan where an easy commute places you at the doorsteps of world-famous museums, professional and college sporting and concert events, and restaurants of every cuisine.
