If you like boats, the beach, and Italian ice – then Harbor Island Park in Mamaroneck may be the perfect Road Trip: Close to Home for you.
The stretch of sand just off the Long Island Sound is the perfect place to bring kids of all ages. The park is the harbor so it’s great for swimming because it is calm without a lot of waves.
The park provides stunning nautical views, and little ones will jump for joy when they play in this recently renovated splash pad.
And if you are looking for some adventure--you’re in luck. You can learn how to paddle board right on the beach.

After you work up an appetite head down the road to Ralph’s Italian Ice. This longtime local favorite has more than 50 flavors of Italian ices.
From the classic lemon and rainbow ices to signature crafted ices. But if you want to go big, try their newest sugary concoction--the Doughnado.
