What we're about
This group is open to active members of Shorewalkers, a non-profit group leading walks throughout the NYC area. Our volunteer hike leaders offer walks every weekend of the year and our signature event, a 32-mile hike around Manhattan called the Great Saunter, takes place on the first Saturday in May. To join this group, first register as a paid member at www.Shorewalkers.org.
Come join us for a walk and experience NYC at 3 mph!

Walk Details
From the Jitney or RR, we will walk Main Street to James Lane, where East Hampton History comes to life. Guild Hall, Mulford Farm, the Lion Gardiner Mill Cottage barely scratch the surface. We'll continue into the estate section and Georgica for a glimpse of Grey Gardens and the iconic 19th century boarding house, The Apaquogue. We'll return with Lily Pond Lane for a stop at Main Beach (there are bathrooms here, and in the village parking lot near Jitney/RR). We'll continue east along a "secret" trail with views of Hook Pond, where a shore walk will bring us to Wiborg Beach and Highway Behind The Pond. We'll explore the Village Nature Trail and walk back to the village center.
Things to remember:
* Bring sunscreen, hat, windbreaker & adequate water for the walk.
* Pack food for our lunch break. While there may be places to stop along the way, they will be crowded & pricey so best we don't
* There will be time to linger in town after the walk to see the beautiful homes and grab a bite to eat before returning to the train.
