East Marion & Orient

The Eastern-most tip of the North Fork, a nostalgic reminder of simpler times.
East Marion and Orient embody the essence of coastal living, offering a serene escape amidst stunning natural beauty. From the tranquil shores of Orient Beach State Park to the charming boutiques and eateries along Village Lane, these picturesque hamlets provide an idyllic retreat on the North Fork. With their historic architecture, charming farmstands, and close-knit communities, East Marion and Orient exude a timeless charm that captivates those seeking a laid-back coastal lifestyle. Whether you're drawn to boating, hiking, or simply relaxing by the water's edge, these coastal gems promise a life of tranquility and adventure for residents lucky enough to call them home.
 
 
Both hamlets have deep roots in maritime industries such as shipbuilding, whaling, and fishing, dating back to the 17th century. This maritime heritage is still evident today in the charming waterfront villages, historic lighthouses, and working harbors that dot the coastline. Access to Connecticut and Block Island (seasonal) via the Cross Sound Ferry bring the otherwise geographically isolated area into reach. East Marion and Orient boast some of the oldest and best-preserved colonial architecture on Long Island, providing a glimpse into the area's storied past. Famed authors Walt Whitman and E.B. White spent time in Orient, seeking solitude and drawing inspiration from the area for their writing.
