5 Things to Do in Sayville-Bayport Before Summer Fades

Say it ain't so, but alas, all good things must come to an end.

We don't really want to talk about it, but soon buses will be heading down neighborhood roads and leaves will be falling. Yes, summer is coming to an end, so instead of lamenting, let's jam in as much warm weather fun while the sun is still high in the sky and the ocean waters are still warm.

Here are four warm weather classics and a new one to try before the summer sun sets.

Eat a meal outside
There are great places to eat on the water, such as JT's at Corey Beach, Cull House on Brown's River, Kingston's in West Sayville. We sure hope that by now you've dined at least once on a patio or a deck. 

Grab a cone or a cup of your favorite frozen stuff
Ice cream tastes better in the summer, right? So does frozen yogurt and there's no shortage of either. There's Ralph's Ices, Friendly's, Carvel, Berry Fresh and Sweet Frog just to name a few between Bayport and West Sayville.

Shop the Farmers Market & Local Farm Stands
It's outside, it's fresh and it's almost gone. There's still time to grab the summer's best tomatoes, lettuces and herbs and at the farmer's market on Broadway Avenue and Montauk Highway in Sayville or Ken's stand on Bayport Avenue. Not only does it tastes good, but you will feel good when you support our small farms. 

Beaching it.
Got your toes in the sand yet this summer? We live on the bay. Swim the Great South Bay, have a picnic lunch or dinner, paddle a kayak or just gaze. Go now and go often. 

A New Breakfast Option in Town
If you haven't been able to stop in at the Ice House in West Sayville for breakfast, make a point of it before summer's end. The Acai bowls are being raved about and Monday's is free coffee Monday.
