Sag Harbor

Drive nearly to the eastern end of Long Island to explore this historic village and enjoy its exciting activities on the water.  

Sag Harbor provides a delightful combination of old and new. Discover its long history as a leader in the whaling industry and enjoy modern activities on the water with thrilling sports. Come to the village for a long weekend or an extended vacation.

Starting with history, the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum provides excellent insights into the whaling industry that supported the town’s development and growth. Watch a fascinating film about whaling, see artifacts and appreciate the building itself, officially identified as a historic treasure. Outside are tall Corinthian columns and inside is a beautiful spiraling oval staircase. The Masonic Lodge occupies the second floor. Stroll across the street to the Custom House Museum to see a restored home of an early customs master.

Walk to the nearby Presbyterian Church or Old Whalers’ Church, which was built in the 1840s during the height of the whaling industry. Gaze up to where its steeple once stood, offering a welcoming sight as whalers returned from their difficult and dangerous work at sea. A hurricane in 1938 took down the steeple, but the building still stands as a religious gathering point for the community. For 25 years the Bay Street Theater has been another community gathering point, for music, comedy, films and stage performances.

Water sports are big in the summer. In the village, visit Havens Beach for swimming and sunbathing. Travel a bit west to Foster Memorial Beach, also known as Long Beach because of its long and narrow strip of sand. See sailboats and motor yachts at Sag Harbor Marine Park. Rent a canoe, kayak, sailboat, motorboat or stand-up paddleboard. For a unique thrill, try flyboarding with a skilled operator.

Drive to Sag Harbor in less than 2 hours from New York City or fly to East Hampton, Suffolk County, Montauk or other regional airports and rent a car. Settle in for a relaxing vacation in this pleasant and historic village.

"A good choice for “affordable” stays in the Hamptons. The place is not “fresh” or chic by any means but it’s very acceptable and half the price of many other accommodations. Over all it’s a good value. Clean, well located and homey."
