A lovely, low-key alternative to the ultra-pricey hamlets in neighboring areas, Eastport offers relaxed south shore ambience while providing all the benefits of the Hamptons. Sometimes called the gateway to the Hamptons, this unassuming hamlet offers access to Moriches Bay, Seatuck Creek, and the Atlantic as well as outstanding antiquing, boating, fishing, and horseback riding.

It?s hard to imagine that Eastport was originally the center of duck farming on Long Island. Today, antiques shoppers and tourists stroll where duck farms once prospered along picturesque, tree-lined streets. With over a dozen antique shops on Montauk Highway (Route 27A), people from all over the Hamptons come to Eastport?s antique district to find the perfect treasure from the past. Browse for furniture, artwork, vintage clothing, and bric-a-brac at reasonable prices. Or take a stroll along Lily Pond and enjoy a picnic and walk to the Great South Bay for incredible views. This part of the Hamptons is both unassuming and unpretentious ? the perfect solution to those looking for a Hamptons location without the crowds.
