From wine tasting at vineyards to soaking up the sun and surf and even touring historical homesteads--Long Island is a popular destination for a relaxing retreat. If you are traveling to the island, consider staying in the quaint hamlet of Eastport on the eastern end's south shore. Here, you'll be close to the famed Hamptons, wineries and other area attractions, yet far removed from the traffic and crowds that often appear in the height of tourist seasons.
