Last weekend we took a two day trip to Montauk which is at the tip of Long Island. It is a three hour train journey from Brooklyn and very tedious for small children but they travel remarkably well probably because they do a fair bit of it. The weekend was sunny but not warm although we did manage a couple of trips to the beach where it was quite sheltered enough to be pleasant so a happy time was spent building sand castles and burying small feet and hands.
Here -from Google- is a romantic image of the lighthouse on the Atlantic (the first in New York State, commissioned by George Washington) a few miles out of town: we were not there at dawn, but in town the sunsets were even redder.

Very impressed that you went by train and not car. We have only ever got as far as Port Jefferson on Long Island but found a car to be almost essential even though it's served by the Long Island Railroad.
