Dock wisdom

Captree Boat Basin is 10 min east of Jones Beach -- the best dock for party boat fishing with no license required.

Striped bass run the south shore inlets from May through October. Freeport charter boats fish them hard at first light.

Book whale watches and dolphin tours from Freeport on weekdays -- weekend trips sell out in July and August.

The Fire Island Ferry from Bay Shore is the move for a day trip to a car-free beach village -- no car needed, bikes welcome.
