Nestled between the villages of East Hampton and Southampton, Sag Harbor is one of the area's most historic villages. Mentioned in Herman Melville's Moby Dick, Sag Harbor has been capturing the hearts and minds of travelers for generations.
Steeped in history, the town was initially settled in the early 1700s and quickly became a prosperous commercial port, whaling town, and home of Long Island's first newspaper. The remnants of the town's whaling past can still be seen at The Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum.
The town's entire business district is on the National Register of Historic Places and is located within steps of the harbor. Main Street is anchored by The American Hotel, a boutique hotel complete with 8 rooms and onsite dining making it the perfect place to stay after a long day of searching for Hamptons real estate.
At the center of Main Street is the iconic Sag Harbor Cinema, a new state-of-the-art triplex movie theater complete with iconic signage. The Cinema offers outdoor movies during the summer months and features iconic movies and niche films.
The Bay Street Theatre is a not-for-profit professional theater and community culture center located on the harbor. The theatre offers year-round entertainment including live shows, workshops, a comedy club, camps, and classes.
Sag Harbor also offers a variety of dining options. For those interested in fine dining consider Page at 63 Main, Il Capuccino Ristorante, Le Bilboquet, or The Beacon. If causal fare is more your style there is Goldberg's Bagels, LT Burger, or Sagtown Coffee.
