With water bordering its three sides, Point Lookout offers a picturesque, seaside hamlet, situated at the end of Long Beach Island, in Nassau County. 28 miles (45.1 kilometers) from the chaotic energy of New York City, Point Lookout makes an ideal spot to escape the big city and relish the slower pace of this island community. And Point Lookout takes this unhurried stride seriously, allowing only a 15-mile (24.1-kilometer) per hour speed limit for all motorized vehicles! One locale that’s prime for this pace is Nautical Mile. The area’s most famous canal, Nautical Mile is the ideal place for exploration on foot, with a plethora of charming restaurants, quaint shops, and enticing nightlife.
Point Lookout also offers a myriad of water activities and gorgeous sunsets. To ensure you witness one of these sunsets, book an overnight stay at one of the following Airbnb vacation rentals below. Read on to find out more!
