Beaches

Beyond the village, the beaches of the East End offer endless stretches of sand and surf that, while similar in their natural beauty, each have a distinct atmosphere. Parking generally requires a permit, which can be purchased at Long Beach in nearby North Haven. For a younger, livelier crowd, Flying Point Beach in Water Mill is a popular destination, while Gibson Beach in Sagaponack draws a chic and stylish set. Families will appreciate Sagg Main Beach in Southampton, where lifeguards, restrooms, food stands, and beach passes make for a relaxed and well-equipped seaside experience.

Village

Once a bustling whaling port, Sag Harbor today stands as one of the most beautifully preserved historic villages on Long Island. Its streets are lined with a remarkable array of 18th- and 19th-century architecture, lovingly maintained and rich with character. Along the picturesque Main Street, visitors enjoy an inviting mix of boutique shops, art galleries, and acclaimed restaurants. The village is also home to cultural and historic landmarks such as the Bay Street Theater, the iconic American Hotel, the Sag Harbor Whaling Museum, the beautifully restored Sag Harbor Cinema, and the nation’s first U.S. Customs House. Overlooking the waterfront, the harbor is alive with yachts and sailboats moored at the Sag Harbor and Breakwater Yacht Clubs, where weekly races enliven the bay throughout the summer season.
