This small village in Suffolk, with a population of 3,660, is part of town of Huntington, and Caumsett Park is to its northern tip.

• Powles marina
• West Neck beach
• Cold Harbor Spring State Park

It’s south of the main street @ Lloyd Harbor.

The little beach is on the Lloyd Harbor Road, right before the Caumsett Park. The sunset is beautiful.

This library is from the old Astor Library that was founded in 1848 in the East Village, by John Jacob Astor (1763-1848) who left $400,000 in his will and New England educator and bibliographer Joseph Cogswell (1786-1871).

Not sure this little patch of green is part of the Cold Harbor Spring State Park. It locates north of Powles marina and southwest of the Lloyd Harbor main street. Two white swans swim leisurely in  the water as well with a few geese(?).

This is a part of Pedestrian Loop 2 at Caumsett park.

We started our hike from Pedestrian Loop PL1 @ Caumsett Park, and went down hill from the main house to the Fresh Pond.

A couple of beautiful white swans
