Lloyd Harbor - Off Huntington Bay, east of Northport, Centerport, and Huntington.
Although it’s name connotes a busy harbor, as most are on Long Island Sound, Lloyd is one of the more idyllic and serene spots on eastern LIS a peaceful anchorage that fits the definition of gunkhole in almost any book. It actually extends from Huntington Bay to the east and Oyster Bay to the west, from which it is separated by a narrow strip of land. The view across to the four stacks of the monstrous LILCO power plant is far enough away to almost create a storybook vision of giant candy canes luring the night fishing vessels while the light house keeps watch.
The thing to do here is enjoy the peacefulness. What a place to sit back with a cocktail and watch the sunset! There’s usually a great display by birds fishing for their supper, and you may get a visit from the local swans. A barbecue dinner under the stars is definitely indicated. In fact, you may be dining along with stars like Billy Joel, who made his home on Lloyd Harbor during his marriage to Christie Brinkley. In December 2002, he bought a brick manor house near Moses Point with a dock on Oyster Bay Harbor, which reputedly looks across Cold Spring and Oyster Bay harbors toward the house he lived in on Lloyd.
