Eastport's Hottest Businesses: A New Shopping Adventure Awaits
Just beyond Westhampton, Remsenburg and Speonk lies the charming hamlet of Eastport. Founded in 1730s, the area now known as Eastport was originally two separate hamlets, Seatuck and Waterville, before they fused in the 1850s for the sake of establishing a post office. Eastport’s various businesses are just as delightful as the hamlet’s history. Here are a few of our personal favorites.
Where to Shop in Eastport
Beyond the Beaten Path
This boutique hosts one-of-a-kind jewelry, lighting and more eccentric finds. From contemporary and vintage items, this store is a paradise for those tired of the same old big business stores. Owner Emily Weiss also has an Etsy store where some of the store’s items are for sale if you can’t make it to the store in person. Recently, the store has highlighted its collection of vintage barware on its Facebook page. The store has a private art collection for viewing which includes works from Picasso, Chagall and more.
