Inlet Pond County Park offers a mature oak forest and a butterfly garden, while Southold Dog Park provides off-leash play areas for dogs. Housing styles in North Fork include Cape Cods, historic homes, and new builds, set on tree-lined streets without sidewalks. The community hosts a variety of events, such as Winterfest and Lobsterfest, and boasts over 60 local businesses, including unique shops like Lydia’s Antique & Stained Glass. Dining options are abundant, with A Lure Chowder House & Oysteria and Michelangelo Southold among the highlights. The area is also home to 20 wineries, including Bedell Cellars. While there are no chain stores on the peninsula, residents can find larger retailers 3 miles away in Riverhead.
