Bellport

Bellport is a village on Long Island's South Shore with tree-lined streets throughout its residential neighborhoods. The waterfront location along Great South Bay provides access to a marina where boats and water activities are centered.

The settlement began in 1829 when the Bell family purchased land and established what was originally planned as a commercial port. Over time it transformed into a summer destination that attracted visitors from New York City.

The Bellport Arts Center serves as a gathering place where exhibitions, classes, and performances happen throughout the year. This venue shapes how the community engages with creative activities and draws people interested in local artistic life.

The village is straightforward to navigate, with clear streets and a central marina where most activities happen. Visitors should know that access to Ho Hum Beach on Fire Island operates from the marina, with the most activity during warmer months.

The Four Corners district forms the commercial heart of the village, where antique shops, galleries, and small local businesses cluster together. This area reveals how the community supports local enterprise and creative expression through its own businesses.
