After Fathers Day dinner at the campsite we decided to take a short drive to Fair Haven, NY. Fair Haven is a small, quaint village surrounding Little Sodus Bay, a two mile bay with break walls leading to Lake Ontario. Fair Haven is a summer resort area that features some of the best swimming, fishing and boating along with camping at Fair Haven State Park. It is home to many restaurants and bars which you can walk, ride or boat to. This is the view from Phillips Park on Main St. in the village. I love this house and the peacefulness this photo brings.
While Ray and Raymond decided to fish from the pier opposite this home, Lori, Greg and I decided to stroll through the village to see what was there.
Above is the Little Sodus Inn, a small restaurant and pub which sits on the banks of the bay. We will have to come back and enjoy a dinner or drink here while watching the sailboats on the bay.
Even though this village is only about 3 blocks long, they had a square in the middle with a nice park and gardens. There was also a memorial to the Korean, WWI and WWII veterans. In the front of the photo is a light, and I am sure it is nice to see it all lit up at night.
There was a gazebo in the square as well where I am sure they probably hold small town band concerts and other services. I couldn't help but to capture a picture of the weather vane with a sailboat on top, so appropriate for this area.
After leaving a small gift shop, I noticed this sign and had to chuckle. Bet you can guess which way I will head the
next time I visit here. That is, of course, after stopping for a cold one at the Irish Pub.
It has been said that the Fair Haven sunset is rivaled in beauty only by those in Japan. We will have to return some evening and see if that is true and steal a photo or two of it.
Cool! The nearest town to us here is Fair Haven, VT.
