About Long Island Weekends

There may be miles of difference between Brooklyn and Montauk.

But there really aren’t that many miles.

And along the way, there are literally hundreds of attractions to capture your attention. An event – or something you can make eventful – every single weekend day of the year.


Long Island Weekends is built to make finding that fun easy. We suggest a single Long Island travel idea for every weekend day (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) all year long. There’s even a bonus suggestion for the weekdays each week.

Please join us.

Long Island Weekends was created by Cross Sound Ferry, which runs regular ferry service between Orient Point, at the tip of the North Fork, and New London, CT. We want to expose our ridership to all the exciting Long Island happenings they may not know.

If you’re interested in all that Long Island has to offer, visit regularly. Or if you want to receive suggestions via regular emails, sign up to be a Cross Sound Ferry Rewards member – free of charge. You’ll even be eligible for discounts that could save you up to 55% on select Cross Sound Ferry trips.

If you’re a Long Island business or attraction, it is our sincere objective to lift all boats within the area. We welcome suggestions on unique area events; will post listings on the best places to visit, to stay and to eat, free of charge; and will share content and welcome reciprocal links with area Destination Marketing Organizations.

If you’ve got an attraction or business you’d like to see on liweekends.com, can be supportive of the effort functionally or financially, or have thoughts on the region you’d like to share, we’d like to open up a dialog. Contact us
