Patchogue Village

Patchogue Village, in the Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, is an incorporated village, located on the south shore of Long Island, between Blue Point on the west and Bellport on the east.
Fifty miles from Manhattan, Patchoque was incorporated in 1893 and in the past 115 years or so has been a busy community. 
The business district has Main Street shopping and restaurants making trips to the large Long Island Malls unnecessary.

The Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts, at one time a movie theatre, has been fully renovated. The Theatre has live performances and the lobby can hold receptions and has a full service bar. The theatre has hosted a variety of performances including plays, comedies, auctions, dance performances and live concerts from classical to rock.

There is ferry service to Fire Island. 
The ferries leave Patchoque for trips to Watch Hill, part of the Fire Island National Seashore, and Davis Park, a summer residential community. 
Fire Island is a barrier beach with Atlantic Ocean waves beating against beautiful white sand. It is all just a ferry ride away. Patchoque also has the bay and waterfront marinas and piers that extend into the Great South Bay. 
You can spend the day fishing or swimming in the bay or sit and watch the boats go by on the Patchogue River.

Transportation is available and convenient.
 The Long Island Railroad stops at the Patchoque Station on its Babylon Line. 
  • By car, take the Long Island Expressway to exit 63, North Ocean Ave. and travel south about 4 miles. There are public scheduled buses throughout Suffolk County and private taxi service too.
