Georgica Pond

Georgica Pond is a calm, protected, enclosed salt pond just north of the ocean in East Hampton, making it an ideal setting for first‑time paddlers and families with young children. The water is flat and sheltered from ocean waves and boat traffic, so it feels more like a quiet lake than the open sea and helps newcomers feel safe, relaxed, and in control. As you paddle, the shoreline shifts from low willows and red maples to higher ground with pitch pines and oaks, and it is common to see cormorants and other coastal birds perched in the trees or along the coves, giving kids and adults plenty of nature to observe and talk about.

Every participant, regardless of age or swimming ability, is required to wear a properly fitted Coast Guard–approved lifejacket, which is provided for you, and dry bags are supplied so that phones, keys, and personal items stay dry and secure throughout the trip. Tandem kayaks can comfortably seat two adults with a small child in the middle, and children from about three years old and up are welcome to join as non‑paddling passengers on these calm waters, making this a genuinely family‑friendly experience where younger kids can enjoy the ride while adults handle the paddling.

At the southern end of Georgica Pond, rentals & tours can finish with a gentle landing on a beautiful, uncrowded white‑sand beach between the pond and the Atlantic, near the locally known “Third Jetty” area, which is normally hard to reach on foot but easy to access by kayak or stand‑up paddle-board. For New York City visitors, this combination of protected paddling, clear safety practices, and access for very young children creates a reassuring way to experience the South Fork’s coastal beauty without needing prior kayaking or SUP experience.

DISTANCE: 2,5 miles (R) from the Montauk Highway access to the ocean beach.

Six creeks and coves provide 6.5 miles of shoreline to explore.

ACCESS:

  1. Montauk Highway Rest Area: No permit needed. Located on the south side of Rte. 27 just east of the Wainscott commercial district and Wainscott Stone Road.

  2. Cove Hollow Road: No permit needed. Traveling east on Rte. 27 through Wainscott, take the first right after the rest area and Stephen Hands Path onto Georgica Road. Stay on this for 0.7 mile and make the next right after Cove Hollow Farm Road onto an unnamed road that appears to be an extension of Cove Hollow Road. Park at the end of the road. The route out to Georgica Cove involves paddling a narrow slot through a thick stand of Phragmites.

Sagg Pond

Sag Pond in Sagaponack is a coastal kettle pond at the end of a chain of ponds stretching south from Sag Harbor, bordered by preserved wetlands and open farmland. Periodically, storms, high water, or a managed “let” breach the sandbar that separates the pond from the Atlantic, briefly connecting this calm waterway to the open ocean and drawing in fish and feeding seabirds.

Launching near the Sagaponack Road or Bridge Lane bridge, paddlers begin in a creek‑like channel with a gentle current flowing out of the Sag Swamp Preserve, a 100‑acre forested wetland that feeds the pond from the north. As the pond widens on the way south, you glide past tupelo and black willow trees while black‑crowned night herons, snowy egrets, great blue herons, kingfishers, ospreys, cormorants, and terns often hunt and roost along the shore, largely unfazed by quiet kayaks.

In about 45 minutes of easy paddling from Bridge Lane, you reach the secluded ocean beach adjacent to the south end of the pond, a stunning and relatively hidden stretch of sand. Here you can land away from marked piping plover nesting areas, enjoy a swim in the clean Atlantic surf, and relax on the beach after a peaceful nature‑filled crossing of the pond.

Sag Pond is generally calm and sheltered, offering a safe, scenic route to the ocean for families and nature lovers, combining gentle paddling, rich birdlife, and the reward of a full beach day at the end of the trip if you prefer to just take some rentals for the day.

Northwest Creek

Alewife Brook is a short, winding tidal creek and pond tucked into a quiet, protected corner of Cedar Point County Park in Northwest Harbor. Sheltered from wind and boat traffic, it offers exceptionally calm, clear water, making it a very safe zone for paddling and ideal for kids and parents who want to explore nature together.

Entering through a narrow, easy-to-miss mouth along the shoreline, paddlers follow a meandering route bordered by forest and salt marsh, with plenty of birdlife and marine life to spot along the way. Despite being less than a mile long, its many twists and turns make it feel like a longer adventure, perfect for curious young explorers in kayaks or on paddle-boards.

Because it is well buffered from development and larger open waters, Alewife Brook has a peaceful, secluded feel, with opportunities to drift quietly, watch for birds like kingfishers and ospreys, and observe changes in depth and marine life beneath the boat. A small bench and nearby trails connect paddlers to East Hampton’s larger trail network, making this a favorite family-friendly spot to combine a gentle paddle with a bit of on-foot exploring.

Location: We will be meeting and launching from the boat ramp pinned below.
