One Love Beach

At first glance it may look like a surf shop but it’s actually more than that. Owners Blake and Chris Dowling stock their newly opened shop with stuff that’ll get you moving and enjoying the outdoors. The shop is vibrant with its brightly colored, sleek paddleboards and wakeboards lining the walls, neon colored Penny skateboards, custom colored and adorned bikes, straw bags, surf wear, sunglasses, havianas and wetsuits. Blake and Chris think of it as more than a shop but rather a community, where you can get the latest marine forecast, pick up some equipment, schedule a lesson or rental or simply to hang. The shop will be opened all year where the inventory will evolve with the seasons so stay tuned for snowboards and snowsuits!

East End Charters

Photos by Joni Rentz

For the ultimate North Fork experience you need to see it from a totally different perspective, you need to get out on the water. And no one on the Fork delivers a more unique experience than East End Charters, specializing in two-hour, half, full day or for however long you’d like, adventures.

Climb aboard Surprise, their 57 foot Spaulding Dunbar ketch, with Captain Pat Mundus and her friendly crew for an unforgettable North Fork Adventure. How about sailing off to your own private island oasis where you spend the day taking in the sun, relaxing and frolicking in the water. While on land a lobster and seafood feast is all being perfectly prepared and set up for you, by your crew, to enjoy on the beach. Or discover the Wine Trail by sea with a days-long tour including three select vineyards and lunch on deck. All perfectly choreographed for you to return just in time for dinner ashore. They have many adventures to choose from, but no matter your plans, you’ll always be pleasantly surprised.

Along with Surprise, Pat’s fleet can accommodate anywhere from 2 to 30 guests aboard sail or power driven vessels and can cover anything from a simple harbor tour to a 5 star customized luxury adventure.

So lace up your deck shoes, pull on your navy stripes and set off on an adventure you’ll never forget.

One, located right in the center of town on Front Street called Port Side Rentals. They rent comfy retro cruisers. Big seats. Big wheels. Perfect for cruising. The second is Dan’s Bike Rental. Dan has a fleet of high quality Specialized and Trek hybrid bikes. He’ll even deliver them right to your door. Either way, please peddle responsibly.

Golfing on the North Fork

There are a number of golf courses on the North Fork but non as charming as Cedars Golf Club in Cutchogue. Following the design of the original "sheep pasture" courses of Scotland it's noted that this is the first place where golf was played on the North Fork around the turn of the last century. Upgraded and improved in 1963 by noted golf course architect, Russel Case, the 9-hole course is perfectly designed for both pro and newbie golfers. Case's Lane | Cutchogue | 631.734.6363
