Westbury

Introduction

Westbury is a village on Long Island in Nassau County, New York, lying mostly in the southeastern part of the Town of North Hempstead, with a small piece extending into the Town of Oyster Bay. It serves as the anchor community of the Greater Westbury area, making it a natural base for exploring this part of Long Island.

What to see and do

Westbury's standout sight is Old Westbury Gardens, a historic estate garden that anchors the village's identity as a place to visit. Plan your sightseeing around it, since the source material names no other specific attractions in the village.

Three days in Westbury

Day one: Start in Westbury itself, a town on Long Island in Nassau County, New York, and use it as your base for getting oriented. The Town of North Hempstead and the Town of Oyster Bay frame the wider area, and Greater Westbury gives you a sense of how the town sits within it. Keep the first day simple: settle in, walk the town, and plan the rest of your stay around the places that interest you most.

Day two: Give the day to Old Westbury Gardens, the estate and garden that anchors the area and the reason many visitors build a trip around Westbury. Plan your visit around the gardens rather than squeezing it between other stops, and let the rest of the day stay loose so you can return to town in the evening.

Day three: Use your last day to fill in what you missed in Westbury and to look beyond it into Long Island and Nassau County. Check your plan against the time you have left, revisit anything you wanted a second look at, and leave the afternoon open for the drive or train back toward New York.
