Welcome to Noyac/North Sea
North Sea and Noyac are the northern part of Southampton township along the little Peconic bay. They are known for quiet little communities, pristine bay beaches and the best sunsets in the Hamptons. Close proximity to the towns of Southampton and Sag Harbor as well as some of the best golf courses on the east coast. Locals head down to the beach in the evenings to enjoy the soft white sands and open water views (glass of wine is optional). There some remarkable areas for paddle boarding, sailing and kayaking. Secret little spots for fishing and dirt trails to ride bikes and explore nature.
History
Little Peconic Bay, is the birthplace of Southampton Town, the first English colony in NewYork State. It was originally known as Northampton and settled in June 1640 at Conscience Point. A boulder at the point bears a plaque installed by the Southampton Colonial Society commemorating this landing (sound familiar?). The colonists made their way through the forest, along an Indian path they later named North Sea Path (today North Sea/ Noyac Road). The wigwam of Nowedanah, Chief of the Shinnecocks, was located at North Sea at this time. From the time of English settlement, North Sea served a vital role for the colony as its seaport, and later served as a Port of Entry with Southampton Town’s first Custom House, established in 1670.
Random Fact
