For a picturesque water scene, go to the North Hempstead Town Dock in Port Washington. Have an urge to catch a sunset? This is the place to do it. You can watch boats sail in and out of Manhasset bay, or drop a fishing line and try and catch something off the dock.
On Saturdays, when the weather permits, there is the Port Washington Organic Farmers Market, which is billed as "the only 100 percent organic farmers market in New York State."
