Shinnecock Commercial Fishing Dock

A Working Maritime Hub

The Shinnecock Commercial Fishing Dock is the largest commercial fishing port on Long Island, home to a fleet of rugged draggers, trawlers and lobster boats that supply seafood across the region. Offloading cranes, ice houses and tackle sheds line the working waterfront, a rare glimpse of a still-thriving fishing tradition.

Shinnecock Bay & the Inlet

The dock sits on the sheltered waters of Shinnecock Bay at Hampton Bays, where boats pass through the Shinnecock Inlet to reach the open Atlantic. The sweeping Ponquogue Bridge rises in the background, linking the mainland to the barrier beach.

The Heart of the Hamptons' East End

Far from the manicured estates, this gritty and genuine corner of the Hamptons reveals the maritime backbone of the East End — fishermen mending nets, gulls wheeling overhead and vessels coming and going across the bay.
