Bayside is a coastal residential area of Northport.[7] The Bayside Historic District contains over one hundred Victorian seaside cottages, a marina and the Cobe Estate.[8]
The village is laid out on narrow roads branching off of two main streets that pass through.[9] From the north, Bayside Road exits U.S. Route 1 before forking just beyond Edna Drinkwater Elementary School: to the north, closer to the coast, is Shore Road, while a few yards inland is Bluff Road. The two roads merge as Bluff Road before rejoining Route 1 at the southern end of the village, near Saturday Cove. Main Street runs north-to-south between the marina and Bluff Road.
At the village's marina, a row of Victorian houses reminiscent of San Francisco's Painted ladies lines Park Row, which bounds Ruggles Park on its western side. The Northport Inn formerly stood at the top of Ruggles Park. It burned down in 1919.[10]
