Harborfront Park is right on the water in Port Jefferson Harbor - enjoy the sunset, ocean breezes, and views of the boats. Rocketship Park is a nice big playground that my kids love going to.

Wild Plant Shop is an amazingly curated house plant shop on East Broadway. The staff is so knowledgeable about each plant, and I always walk out with something new.
Best Restaurants in Port Jefferson
Locals is my favorite spot for client meetings. My fave thing on the menu is the goat cheese and honey toast.
Ruvo is my go-to girls night out spot. A glass of Pinot Grigio and a flatbread are fan favorites!
