Explore LI magazine is guide to summer fun

The Explore LI magazine we're delivering to home subscribers this weekend is the 20th edition of Newsday's ultimate guide to summer fun on Long Island. The magazine offers page after page of comprehensive guides to

entertainment, beaches, parks, hobbies

and activities, and one thing makes the 2010

edition better than ever - your pictures.

Readers submitted nearly 5,900 photos to our Explore LI magazine contest this year, including our cover photo of Ella Paulsen of West Islip. We're publishing more than 60 terrific photos shot by readers and submitted online at exploreLI.com. This year, we've also added:

A fresh guide to LI nightlife.

Family fun centers.

Dock-and-dine best bets and an expanded guide

to family restaurants.

Day trips a ferry ride away.

All you need to plan dinner and a show in New York City's theater district.
