Nick Costanzo of Naples, Fla., shows his daughter Lidia, 3, the fish tank at the East End Seaport Museum.

Greenport has come a long way in the past two decades. The former whaling and shipbuilding village, marking its 175th anniversary this year, has gone from a rundown crime-ridden seaport to a family-friendly tourism hot spot.

There are village streets to wander, boutique shops to browse and any number of restaurants to patronize. Bring the kids to this summer destination and make a day of it.
