Sag Harbor Travel Guide: Reviews, photos, & videos

Settled sometime between 1707 and 1730, Sag Harbor was named after its much more difficult to pronounce neighbor of Sagaponack, New York. With two fifths set in East Hampton and the remaining three fifths located in Southampton, Sag Harbor has a population of just fewer than 2,300 but lures in thousands of more visitors in during the gorgeous spring and summer months thanks to perfect weather and its stunning natural beauty. With the expansive Sag Harbor real estate, there are a bevy of opportunities to locate a Sag Harbor vacation rental or a beach house in Sag Harbor in order to provide the perfect flavor your Hamptons vacation.

Check out the historic and austere Sag Harbor Village District which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and possesses the unique distinction of being both a whaling port and a writer’s colony. While at the Village District, explore the Whalers Church and the Whaling Museum to learn more about this fascinating, bygone industry. Then cruise over to the Mashahimuet Park and the always endearing Otter Pond for a foray into the wondrous natural beauty that Sag Harbor – and all of the Hamptons – dishes out in spades. And for the golf nut, a robust 18-holes on the Sag Harbor State Golf Course might make you never want to play golf on another course again thanks to its stunning setting! Which means you’d have to come back to Sag Harbor!
