OYSTER BAY
This historic coastal hamlet, home to President Theodore
Roosevelt’s Summer White House at Sagamore Hill, is
nowadays known as the host of its annual Oyster Festival,
one of the top-attended events on Long Island. But there’s
much more to do in this community than visit museums and
eat shellfish. See what this hidden gem has to offer!
