The saying “Good things come in small packages” rings true for Bellport, a small seaside haven on the South Shore of Long Island that exudes warmth with its Main Street home-goods shops, incredible ocean views and many bicycles.
In her book A Summer Place: Living by the Sea, lifestyle writer Tricia Foley catalogs 23 unique Bellport homes of collectors, artists, entertainers or those who simply felt the village beckoning. Readers tour minimalist residences, 19th-century cottages, blossoming gardens and vibrant art studios-with Foley’s personal hosting tips and bits of Bellport history peppered throughout.
