If you happen to be in the neighborhood of Fontana Concrete Products in Bayport during business hours, take a moment to cozy up to the famous roadside attraction, The Great Sphinx of Long Island, for a photo opportunity. Be sure to capture the inscription: "She who climbs to the Sphinx's head a millionaire will surely wed."
Legend has it that this charming hamlet on the south shore of Long Island was the inspiration for the Hardy Boys' Bayport, the hometown in the popular mystery novels. Now, if hearing the word hamlet conjures up thoughts of Shakespearean tragedies, don't fear! In New York, hamlets are the unincorporated, quintessential small communities that compose a larger town. In the case of Bayport, the town is Islip in the county of Suffolk on Long Island, New York. The 8,896 residents at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census within this 3.7-square-mile hamlet bordering the Great South Bay get the best of both worlds: small town charm with a waterfront that also happens to be a quick 55-mile trip on the Long Island Rail Road, aka the LIRR, to one of the busiest, most exciting cities on earth -- New York City.
