Make the Most of Your Riverhead Stay

A gateway to Long Island's agricultural heart

Riverhead anchors the eastern end of Long Island where the island splits into its twin forks, serving as Suffolk County's seat since 1727. The downtown area along the Peconic River showcases the 1933 Art Deco Suffolk Theater, a restored performance venue with original swan murals, while the Main Street Historic District preserves 46 buildings spanning Late Victorian to Art Deco styles. The Long Island Aquarium features one of the hemisphere's largest living coral reef displays, and the Polish Town neighborhood maintains its early 20th-century heritage through authentic delis and cultural festivals.

Where farmland meets waterfront dining

With 20,000 of Long Island's 35,000 acres of farmland located here, Riverhead earns its reputation as the region's agricultural center. Sound Avenue leads north through vineyard country toward the Long Island Sound, while downtown's revitalized riverfront hosts Tweed's Restaurant, where you can dine beneath a mahogany bar built for the 1893 World's Fair. The Route 58 corridor provides access to Tanger Outlets' 165 stores, and Hallockville Museum Farm preserves 250 years of North Fork farming history.

Positioned for exploration

The town serves as the practical base for exploring both forks, with the North Fork's wine country and the Hamptons' beaches each within 30 minutes. Long Island MacArthur Airport sits 25 miles west, while the LIRR's Greenport line connects directly to the town center.
