Centerport, New York

Centerport is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Suffolk County, New York, United States, on the notably affluent North Shore of Long Island, historically known as the Gold Coast.

Huntington and its surrounding hamlets mark the east end of Long Island's renowned "Gold Coast", the name deriving from the traditional wealth and gentility associated with the area.

The association dates back to the early twentieth century in which many affluent families built their homes along the north shore of the island.

Centerport is highly residential, characterized by winding driveways and beachfront hills.

As is common among the many beachfront locations on Long Island's North Shore, Centerport has developed a large boating and sailing culture.

The yacht club sponsors a variety of racing fleets and regattas every year generally beginning in the late spring and ending mid-autumn.
