12/21/2020 (Permalink)
Manhasset Bay is an Idyllic Marina and Boardwalk, Which is Best-Viewed by Water Taxi.
The Port Washington Water Taxi was set up nearly 20 years ago by local Matt Meyran. The laid back ambiance of viewing the bay from the water has proven to be a massive hit with tourists and residents who, surprisingly, do not often go on the water. The trip runs from 8 am till midnight during the weekend and until 10 pm on weekdays. Tours can last anywhere from fifteen to ninety minutes long and are available through December and January. Highlights include wildlife, which provides for Dolphins, Turtles, and Osprey. Equally impressive are the views of the Execution LightHouse. Water Taxi passengers can even stay the night at the lighthouse, which starts at 300 dollars per room.
- The Execution Rocks Lighthouse is registered as a historically significant structure and is undergoing restoration works.
- The City Island Restaurant Tour takes passengers from Manhasset Bay to City Island for a unique dining experience.
- For views of the Gold Coast and its influence on writer Fitzgerald the Great Gatsby Tour is available by boat throughout December.
