I was born and raised there, and visit as often as I can. It was an amazing place to be fortunate enough to grow up in. Thank you for this wonderful tour.

I lived in Port Washington for almost 12 years. I miss this place so much. I left several friends there and would like to come back soon to visit them. Thanks for showing PW to the world. Hugs from Brazil.

Thanks for the feedback!

Do they have a public beach?

[@DestinationMan]

I think the North Hempstead Beach Park is public. It's a 7 minute drive from town.
