Located at the eastern end of Long Island’s North Fork, Orient boasts peaceful seclusion amongst stretches of farmland and marshes. While Orient exudes a laidback atmosphere, there are still plenty of opportunities to engage in outdoor recreation at Orient Beach State Park, uncover the area’s history with the Oysterponds Historical Society, and visit local farms such as North Fork Flower Farm, Latham Farmstand, and Oysterponds Farm.
The Orient Point Ferry offers regular service to New London, Connecticut across the Long Island Sound from Orient. Most Orient residents head to nearby Greenport for shopping opportunities as well as cultural and historical attractions. Convenience to Route 25 and the Long Island Rail Road’s Greenport station allows for simple travels and commutes from Orient.
