Find Fun On Every Corner
When Main Street isn't closed off for parades, festivals or Santa and his reindeer, there is still an abundance of fun to be had in our many parks, beaches, museums and more!

Did you know that Sayville was once home to the famous Roosevelt family? Well, now you do. Remarkably preserved, Meadow Croft Estate sits on six acres of land. It’s a perfect spot to set up a picnic lunch, tour the estate or explore Loughlin Vineyards, the closest Long Island Vineyard to New York City. Lounghlin Vineyards has been producing the finest red, whites and blush wines since their 1st harvest in 1982.

But, that's not all...

For The Night Owl
Sayville isn't just a quaint family town where shops close early to make it home in time for dinner. As one door closes, one more opens. In our case, these doors are just what you're looking for to kick back and relax.

Just past town on Main Street is the Portly Villager Pub. Mosey on over after ten and you'll join the locals enjoying the game, good conversation and BluePoints on tap. If you're a music lover, don't forget to check out Black Birds Grille on Broadway and Montauk. In addition La Tavola, Café Joelle, Oysterman’s as well as The Sayville Inn all have bars for a nightcap. Sayville wouldn’t be complete without our long standing movie theatre and bowling alley.
