About Long Island
From a tourist's point of view, the best times to visit Long Island are the summer for swimming and the fall when the scenery can be most appreciated. Nassau County and Western Suffolk County are relatively highly developed and densely populated, and are home more to the suburban neighborhoods which Long Island became famous for after World War II, where most year-round residents live (e.g.LevittownandOceanside). Central and Eastern Suffolk County, however, retain a somewhat rural feel, relative to the rest of the New York area, and are home to agriculture, wineries and beach towns. Many summer homes and hotels are located here, and this is where most wealthy New Yorkers congregate in the summer months when the concrete jungle is too hot to bear.
