The wonderful town of Brookhaven is home to a number of unincorporated communities as well as the incorporated villages of Belle Terre, Bellport, Lake Grove, Old Field, Patchoque, Poquott, Port Jefferson and Shoreham. Miles of coastline, dozens of lush parks, and welcoming neighborhoods of lovely homes combine for an outstanding quality of life. Marinas, launching ramps and docks encourage water sports of every kind, enhanced by white-sand beaches and town pools. The wildly popular Brookhaven Amphitheater Art and Cultural Center at Bald Hill serves as a regional jewel for the performing arts. Other highlights include the Brookhaven Ecology Site, Park & Animal Preserve and Holtsville Park, the site of a triple pool complex, fitness course, nature preserve and ecology center, greenhouses and a zoo. Environmental awareness is one of the strong points of Brookhaven communities.
