Restaurants and shops in historic houses line Cold Spring Harbor's charming Main Street, such as Sweetie Pies on Main, a cafe and shop selling baked goods and products from local artisans. The downtown, which extends to the waterfront, includes Billy Joel Park & Boat Ramp, a magnet for kayakers and boaters. Amenities in the picturesque, exclusive community include a recently renovated library and the Whaling Museum & Education Center, which tells the story of the area's whaling heritage. Rising above the waterfront is Cold Spring Harbor State Park, offering some of Long Island's most challenging-and scenic-hiking.
