What to do and see in , Long Island: The Best Things to do

Reviewed By Dominic747 - Blue Point, United States

Like many, we have visited Davis/Leja for our entire lives. Ample slips for a variety of boats, some include electricity and water as needed. Day rates, extended stays and seasonal docking are available. Clearly marked channel but be advised to stay between the markers because the water does become shallow outside of the channel. We day trip during summer and fall to visit friends, family or dine at the Casino Restaurant on a 23' Center Console. On nice summer day trips we try to arrive early because slips can fill up quickly. While the Marina is protected from the elements the transient slips on the North Side by the Tower can get get so rough that boarding via the bow can be a challenge and pickups broadside directly in front of the Tower are not an option. This usually occurs with winds of 15 plus knots from a Northerly direction. If you are a boater but unfamiliar with the Patchogue/Great South Bay note that during the summer the wind often picks up from the SW during the afternoon and expect a consistent 10 knots until sunset. With the completion of the nearby Watch Hill Marina some of the traffic has abated at Davis but this is still a primary destination for many. The Davis Park Marina Staff has always been helpful and accommodating. Need help with a line, docking, unloading or departing? Someone is always ready to assist. Dropping off people or possessions for a week at a beach house? Never a problem. Let them know and you can tie up, unload and leave without a problem. My cousin and family keeps a houseboat in the Marina for the entire season and love it. Definitely check their website for updated rates, rules and reservations.
