East Marion pairs wide-water views with an easygoing coastal rhythm, offering a quiet slice of the North Fork that still sits close to everything you need. Set within Southold in Suffolk County, it’s minutes from the harbor buzz of Greenport and the open horizons of Orient. Sailors and paddlers launch into Gardiners Bay, beachcombers stroll stony coves like Truman’s Beach, and sunrise and moonrise both feel like events.
Local life revolves around the outdoors and history. Trails, picnic spots, and miles of shoreline at Orient Beach State Park invite year-round exploration, with calm water that’s great for families and birding enthusiasts alike, and seasonal activities supported by the park’s official programing. The area’s story is told through preserved landmarks, one-room schools, and maritime lore, with Greenport’s working waterfront and nearby farm stands and vineyards rounding out a weekend or a summer.
Families appreciate the strong, small-scale school options. Younger students attend the Oysterponds Union Free School District, known for its close-knit classrooms and community involvement, while older students continue at the Greenport Union Free School District, which offers varied arts, athletics, and college-readiness programs.
Commuters and second-home owners value access: the LIRR terminates in Greenport and the Cross Sound Ferry departs from Orient Point, simplifying regional travel. Whether you’re buying or selling, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top local agent who knows East Marion inside and out.
