Life in Orient
Orient is one of Long Island's most unspoiled communities — a place where the pace of life slows and the natural beauty of the East End takes center stage. Orient Beach State Park is the community's crown jewel, offering miles of pristine beach along the Long Island Sound. The Village Lane Historic District is a living museum of early American architecture. The Cross Sound Ferry makes Orient a gateway between Long Island and New England, and Sunrise Ride is the preferred way to reach the ferry terminal.
