Bellport is the South Shore Suffolk’s most-photogenic village. Restored 1880s Main Street, the Gateway Playhouse (one of the longest-running professional summer theaters in the country), and the famous Bellport ferry that runs residents (and their guests) to Ho Hum Beach — a private barrier-island beach the village shares.
The cultural anchors:
- Gateway Playhouse — professional summer theater, May–October, the Bellport season runs since 1950
- Bellport-Ho Hum Beach ferry — residents + accompanied guests only, but a guest pass works
- Bellport Country Club — semi-private 18-hole golf, public on Tuesdays
- Bellport Lane on Main — restaurants + the famous Bellport Sweet Shop
Practical:
- LIRR Bellport stop (Montauk branch) — direct from Penn
- South Country Library is the locals’ weekend gathering spot
- The Bellport-Bridgehampton (Hwy 27) corridor is the back way to the Hamptons
Best paired with: a Bellport summer Saturday — morning at Gateway Playhouse matinee, Main Street lunch, Ho Hum Beach afternoon.
