Spring Fun on Long Island

Spring in Bellport is defined by what’s in bloom. At Bellport Inn, the gardens come alive with lilacs, tulips, daffodils, camellias, and cherry blossoms, filling the property with color, fragrance, and texture. It’s a season that invites time outdoors — morning coffee in the garden, unhurried village walks, and relaxed afternoons spent exploring the surrounding landscape.

The nearby Great South Bay reflects the shift in season as well, offering scenic shoreline walks and quiet moments by the water. Spring is also an ideal time to enjoy the outdoors with thoughtfully prepared picnics by Chef Jen, perfect for the gardens, the bay, or as a stop along a day of exploring.

Beyond Bellport, spring highlights Long Island’s rich horticultural and architectural heritage. Guests often plan visits to celebrated arboretums and gardens such as Planting Fields Arboretum and Old Westbury Gardens, along with other botanical gardens and historic mansion estates at their peak during this season. Closer to home, Waterdrinker Farm hosts spring favorites including the Tulip Festival, Easter celebrations, and Brunch with the Easter Bunny. Cultural life continues just steps from the Inn at the Gateway Playhouse, offering Broadway-level productions throughout the spring. Whether you’re visiting for a quiet reset, a family gathering, or a wedding stay, spring in Bellport is beautifully timed and deeply rooted in place.
