Stony Brook is a quaint college town, home to Long Island’s Stony Brook University. The north shore village offers a vibrant downtown area, historic attractions and year-round events. Most attractions are within walking distance of the hamlet’s center. Stony Brook Village features Federalist-style wood framed shops overlooking the harbor. Browse the shops, dine at the many restaurants, and enjoy live music and other outdoor events in the warmer months. Explore the waterfront by renting a bicycle, or get closer to nature and wildlife with a Discovery Wetlands cruise. The area’s Long Island Museum is spread over several buildings and includes a collection of historic carriages, art gallery, blacksmith shop and one-room schoolhouse.
