Silver Sands Motel & Beach Bungalows

Silver Sands Motel & Beach Bungalows is where North Fork nostalgia and understated luxury intersect. Tucked away on a quiet stretch of bayfront just outside Greenport, this retro-chic hideaway draws both city escapees and in-the-know locals. Step inside and it’s clear someone has obsessed over the details: cold filtered water everywhere you turn, plush robes, generous screened porches, and those shaded lounge chairs facing Long Island Sound. Mornings begin with pastries and steaming coffee left right on your porch; afternoons drift into slow, sandy hours at the private beach or a languid lunch at Eddie’s, the open-air beach bar. As dusk falls, the fire pits glow and the scent of salt and grilled seafood lingers in the air. The bungalows and shacks—never precious, always comfortable—provide a peaceful counterpoint to Greenport’s bustle just down the road. Silver Sands isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a throwback summer camp for grownups, with a soul that bridges the creative Brooklyn diaspora and the old North Fork community.
