Northport's Main Street is, especially in the summer, a place where both locals and families who dock their boats on the long pier mingle at the restaurants (newly with outdoor seating available), galleries, ice cream shops, boutiques, toy stores, antique shops and a quaint wine bar. There is space for walking in the village, on the dock, and in the park. It is VERY family friendly, with two playgrounds and festivities in the park throughout the year, notably the holiday celebration in December and concerts at the gazebo throughout the year. Centerport is beautiful as well, but Northport's Main Street and village is a community gathering place and offers fun for everyone.

Hope this Helps,

Centerport has a small strip of shops opposite the Crescent Club Golf Course. It consists of a pizza place, a stationary store, and i local watering hole. Northport has a "Downtown" similar in appearance to Sag Harbor. Check out the photos I have on my web site http://www.sabrinateplin.com and click on "Neighborhoods". You will see the harbor of Centerport which is quite fine, but most people head over to Huntington's "Village" or Northport.
