East Moriches is a waterfront community with a small-town feel. Located just west of the world-famous Hamptons, it offers natural beauty and waterfront living without the crowds or prices. Many homes are within a stone’s throw of Moriches Bay and its coves, across from the barrier island ocean beaches of Westhampton and Fire Island, including Smith Point County Park on the latter’s eastern tip. A few restaurants, commercial businesses and churches line Montauk Highway in East Moriches, which is also home to a U.S. Coast Guard Station and Lufker Airport, a small, privately owned, public-use airport.
