It's a spot in Suffolk County where you can spend the entire day with activities, relaxation and great food.

In this Road Trip: Close to Home, we take you to the Bay Shore Marina, in Bay Shore.

The Marina sets the scene with dozens of docked boats. But the most spectacular one in the water is the Lauren Kristy -- a 65-foot riverboat you can take for a lunch, dinner, or private cruise of your choice.

If you love good food, there are so many options. Fat Fish has some of the best seafood and has a great view of the Fire Island Lighthouse.

Nicky's on the Bay features wide open outdoor seating on two levels. Many nights feature a band on the top deck -- as you watch the Fire Island ferries go by.

The newest spot on the block is LaLa's Lounge. A seaside restaurant with a west coast flare. You can even play pool right on the patio.

If you like to catch what you eat - lots of Long Islanders fish right by the pilings of the Marina.

And what's a hot spot in the summertime -- without somewhere for the kids to cool down? Shipwreck Cove Spray Park features slides, sprinklers and a shallow pool.

But, if sitting by the dock of the bay is your thing -- you could spend hours on one of the benches looking out to the Great South Bay.
