Bellport excels in three things: Golf, Tennis and Sailing. This combination, though deceptively simple, makes the town in to one of the most sought-after resorts on Long Island. Scores of other towns have similar resources but Bellport's administration and 3 thousand residents have done an extraordinary job of development, maintenance and packaging.

Bellport came in to being as late as the beginning of the 20th century. This puts it some 200 years behind the oldest of its neighbors on Long Island. Nevertheless, Bellport has succeeded in making up to an extent by careful conservation of the oldest of its structures and a studied diligence in blending modernity with tradition. This gives it an ambience of culture and modern history and enhances the value of the town.

Some 60 miles distant from Manhattan, Bellport adds to the beauty of its bay-front Marina with a public ferry and boat slips to the Ocean front that is close by. Its beaches are kept in pristine condition and adorned with thoughtful touches for the convenience of vacationers. Residents and visitors respond by descending on the spots in droves, especially during the long months of summer. Lifeguards are always visible and alert and contribute to family enjoyment through the security they provide.

The 18-hole golf course is a much-prized center of attraction. It was established a good ten years before Bellport was even established as a town! The local community has made regular investments in the upkeep and upgrades of the verdant property, and is rewarded by long waiting periods for prospective new entrants to the Club.

People of all ages, both residents and their guests love to use the extensive facilities for tennis at Bellport. Courts have the latest in surfaces and everyone can find partners to suit their skills and style.

The Bellport Village Marina is a popular spot throughout summer. It has 150 berths and a spectacular view of the Bay. Fishing and hunting for crabs are favorite pastimes by day, while harmonious and stirring concerts take place as and after the sun goes down. The Marina's ambience is studded by extensive open spaces and greenery, giving the entire place an almost addictive air.

The town is named after a Captain Bell, who first cam to the area to break up a ship that had floundered off the coast. He so loved the place that he made a house and settled down here. Many vacationers are tempted to follow his lead and become permanent residents! Realtors enjoy and support a throbbing demand for real estates and homes in Bellport. The excellent recreational facilities combine with adequate schooling and scenic homes to provide a most desirable lifestyle for families.
