Setauket, New York, Estados Unidos

Tucked away on Long Island’s north shore, the Incorporated Village of Poquott is a true gem. The Village is nestled between Port Jefferson Harbor and Setauket Harbor, and is an eclectic mix of converted summer homes, waterfront estates, and individuals from all walks of life.

The Village offers residents a multitude of amenities. As AJ Hallock wrote a century ago, “Van Brunt Manor is splendid in location, in beauty, and in natural advantages”.

Residents have access to two beaches and a harbor front park. Walnut Beach lies on the shore of Port Jefferson Harbor, while Van Brunt Manor Beach allows for access to the waters of Setauket Harbor. Both beaches feature dinghy & kayak racks. California Park features two large fields, a gazebo, a private boat ramp, dinghy racks, and a playground. All residents are granted exclusive mooring rights off of Poquott’s shoreline.

Village Hall lies at the foot of Birchwood Avenue, and adjoins Trustees Park. The park offers Poquott residents over two acres of scenic parkland, a greenhouse, private tennis courts, communal gardens, a playground, and picnicking areas.

Two easements, Steve’s Path and the “Indian Trail”, allow for additional access to Port Jefferson Harbor. Steve’s Path connects Tinker Bluff Court to Port Jefferson Harbor, and the Indian Trail connects Birchwood Avenue to Walnut Beach.
