Orient is a historic and picturesque hamlet located at the very eastern tip of the North Fork of Long Island, within the Town of Southold in Suffolk County, New York. Surrounded by water on three sides – the Long Island Sound, Orient Harbor, and Gardiners Bay – it's known for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture, its tranquil and somewhat isolated setting, and its natural beauty, including the Orient Beach State Park. Orient offers a charming, old-fashioned atmosphere with a strong connection to its maritime and agricultural past.
