Perched majestically on bluffs above the ocean, just steps from the seaside village of Watch Hill, the Ocean House has been attracting guests for a century and a half with its perfect location and impeccable service. Among its world-class amenities: 13 acres of beautiful oceanfront landscaping overlooking a 650-foot private white-sand beach with views of Montauk, Block Island and the Atlantic (as well as beach-butler service). The ocean has inspired the décor of the inn’s 49 rooms and 18 suites, some of which feature covered porches or private gardens. The sea also inspires the locally sourced menu at Coast, an award-winning restaurant, and the atmosphere at OH! Spa. Water-based activities range from kayaking and sailing to fishing and surfing lessons.
