Greenport looks interesting. I am going to explore that a little further. I am curious, Why Mitchel park or Townsend Manor Inn over Greenport yacht yard or Stirling Harbor Marinas? Is it because they are the same side of the bay as town, better facilities?
If you have a dinghy, it’s a 5 minute ride across the Harbor basin from Stirling Harbor Marina to a public floating dock in Greenport. The dock is directly across from the small sandy peninsula at the entrance to Stirling Basin. Town is a then short walk down the street from there.
Although Mitchell Park is quite nice & at the center of town there is no pool. Townsend, Yacht Yard and Stirling Harbor all have swimming pools and are quite close to that small sandy beach. This might be a big plus with kids!
Our home port is Stirling Harbor. The facility is very well kept, clean and in addition to the pool and van shuttle to town it has a terrific Italian restaurant, Portobello’s (one of our favorites). There is also a big new clubhouse and a valvtech fuel dock at stirling but fuel can be $$$. There is a vineyard contacosta ( might be spelled incorrectly) which has a beautiful view of the LI Sound that’s a 10 minute walk from Stirling Harbor too.
PM me if You need any help or local advice. Greenport is a great spot to go.
