Suffolk County, New York
Suffolk County takes up the eastern end of Long Island, stretching from the suburbs to the beaches. It’s a place where busy towns and quiet farms sit side by side. The Hamptons draw celebrities and the wealthy.
But you’ll also find peaceful nature preserves and historic lighthouses. Wineries cover the North Fork. The South Shore has great fishing spots.
Suffolk’s history goes way back. It was one of the original counties of New York. Today, it’s the fourth most populous county in the state. Get out to Montauk Point and watch the sunrise. That’s how you’ll get the most out of the easternmost tip of New York.
