Jamesport is a small village located on the North Fork of Long Island in the heart of the island's wine country. This summer resort area is situated on the Great Peconic Bay, which separates the North and South Forks of Long Island (the South Fork is home to the famous Hamptons.) The Atlantic Ocean is to the south and the Long Island Sound lies to the north. These bodies of water help moderate the temperature, creating a long growing season and ideal conditions for the robust, full-bodied wines for which the vineyards of Jamesport is known. You can tour many of the vineyards and wineries, plus you are within walking distance of the beach. Other activities available in the area include biking and hiking, kayaking the Peconic River, golf, volleyball and tennis. Jamesport also has many antique stores and outlet mall shopping is nearby. Other great family attractions in the area include Splish Splash Water Park and the Atlantis Aquarium. The North Fork of Long Island is relaxing and laid back - much more low-key than the South Fork and the Hamptons. Many report the area as seeming "suspended in time," with a tranquil lifestyle amidst rolling vineyards and peaceful farms.

Jamesport Weather & Climate

Long Island enjoys a four-season, moderate climate, given its relatively northern latitude-which makes it a pleasant place to visit year-round. It is the largest island adjoining the continental United States, extending approximately 118 miles east-northeast from the mouth of the Hudson River, adjacent to Manhattan Island. Winters tend to be unpredictable and summers can be warm and muggy, but offshore breezes help moderate temperatures. Spring and fall are the best times to visit, when temperatures are mild. March tends to be rainy, but temperatures stay above freezing. April's warming temperatures makes it more comfortable and May is generally a gorgeous month on Long Island, weather wise. September to November is pleasant and mild, and the changing leaves make it a beautiful time to visit.
