Eddie’s is back this weekend - and so is the version of you who forgot what day it was somewhere around golden hour.

New this summer: the Bulkhead Bar for afternoon drinks by the water, Monday night dinners starting June 1 (we’ll be open six days a week for lunch and dinner, with a short pause on Tuesdays), and a Guest Chef Series we can’t wait to share.

Over at the Boathouse, walk-ins all summer long for lunch, dinner, and late nights by the cove. Open until midnight.

Nookies continues all summer too: breakfast and lunch daily, with dinner expanding to Tuesday nights starting in June. Between Eddie’s, the Boathouse, and Nookies, dinner is on the table seven nights a week at Silver Sands.

Summer’s open. Come find us. ⚓️☀️

Eddie’s reservations are now live on Resy.

There was a time when wellness meant slowing down. Somewhere along the way, it became performance. Cold plunges as biohacks. Sleep as a metric. Recovery as another thing to optimize. The body treated like a machine to be tuned, tracked, and posted about.

The Salt Marsh Wellness Sanctuary was never meant to feel that way. It was made for a version of time that feels human again.

Built at the edge of the marsh, a little apart from the rest of the property, it’s a place to step out of the rhythm of the day and into something slower. From the beginning, we wanted it to feel immersed in its surroundings rather than set apart from them, so the design brings the landscape inside in a very literal way.

Infrared sauna, steam, cold plunge, treatments, stillness. Light shifting across the grasses outside the windows. Egrets drifting through at sunset.

Every reservation is held privately for one party at a time. No crowds. No prescribed flow. Just space to settle in.

This isn’t optimization. It’s restoration. Not the better self. The earlier one. The one who didn’t keep score. The one who, sometimes, just forgets.

Reserved exclusively for guests of Silver Sands.

Rethinking comfort food isn’t just a culinary experiment - it’s a reimagining of place, taste, and tradition.

It’s about shifting perspective. Elevating the everyday. Honoring where it comes from, while imagining where it can go.

And Chef Finn and the team do an amazing job at it.

Edward O’Hara .art, an artist originally from Long Island and the father of our executive chef Finn and our executive sous-chef Conor, returns to the East End with Edges, a body of work created specifically for Silver Sands.

Rooted in a lifelong connection to these shores, his work draws directly from the wetlands that surround us. Reeds and grasses gathered nearby are pressed into canvas and layered with the shifting light of the Peconic, from dawn to dusk, mist to open sky, capturing a landscape that is always in motion.

At Silver Sands, where land meets water, the work feels like a quiet homecoming. A reflection on the threshold we live beside each day, between past and present, stillness and change, memory and return.

Join us on Friday, April 17 from 7:30pm–9:30pm for an evening of early spring stargazing at , hosted on the beach by The Boathouse.

Guided by the team from , guests will explore stars, planets, and distant galaxies through high-powered telescopes set along the shoreline. Beginning at sunset, the evening moves from dusk into full night sky viewing. Mars and Venus appear briefly in the early hours, while Jupiter lingers longer overhead. The Big Dipper sharpens into view, and if conditions allow, the Coma Berenices cluster reveals itself.

To keep the night comfortable, complimentary hot cocoa, hot cider, cosmic brownie bites, and blankets will be available as you take in the sky above.

Turn it into a full evening with dinner at The Boathouse before or after. Space-themed films will be playing on the jumbo TV, extending the atmosphere well beyond the shoreline.

At The Boathouse at Silver Sands Motel in Greenport, it’s not about transactions — it’s about familiar faces

With communal tables, a buzzing bar, old movies on the wall and a menu built for sharing, owner Alex Perros and chef Finn O’Hara have created something rare on the North Fork in January : a place people want to gather. Read Jaymee Sire's latest piece in the North Fork Sun. 🍔🍔🍔

We arrive at Silver Sands just before 6 p.m. on a misty Friday evening in January, the red and turquoise neon motel sign casting a soft glow over the parking lot — which is surprisingly full. As owner Alex Perros leads us along a dark path to The Boathouse, it feels like he is letting us in on a l...

When the sun slips behind Pipes Cove and the neon hums awake, Nookies changes tempo. The diner lights dim. The music leans in. What was easygoing by day becomes magnetic in the glow of night.

This fall’s menu moves with that same rhythm. Familiar bones, reimagined with intention. Food that remembers where it came from but isn’t afraid to move forward.

There’s the Chicken Liver Mousse on Toast, lush with cranberries, Spanish onion, and mint. It feels like a memory brought forward, a dish that walks the line between indulgence and restraint. The Handkerchief Pasta, thin as memory, folded over Koginut squash, pumpkin seeds, and thyme. And the Bloomin’ Onions are still here, a beautiful mess of tempura-fried green onions with creamy anchovy dressing and toasted sesame that taste like onion rings gone rogue in the best way possible. A wink to the diner’s past, proof that playfulness still has a place at the table.

At Nookies, comfort is a conversation between heritage and imagination, flavor and feeling, the past and what comes next.

Because a diner can grow up.
It just doesn’t have to grow out of itself.

Some dreams take their time.

For years, the old boathouse leaned into the tides of Pipes Cove. Weathered. Waiting. Holding on to the scent of salt and oysters, and to the memory of the man who always saw more in it.

Eddie Jurzenia was one of Silver Sands’ original stewards. In 2000, he seeded the first oysters here, long before aquaculture was a buzzword. He tended to the cove as if it were a garden and dreamed of turning the boathouse into a place to gather. A bar. A restaurant. A space that would last. He passed before he could see it through.

Now, the Boathouse is here.
A century-old structure restored with reverence, not reinvention. Still perched on the water. Still shaped by the tides. Inside, the menu is drawn from land and sea: oysters grown just steps away, a meatloaf sandwich that nods to nostalgia, Bloody Mary clams, and a Filet of Fish Sando done our way.

There’s a photo of Eddie on the wall. The kind that watches over a room without needing to say much.

So next time you find yourself at the Boathouse, raise a glass.
To the man who imagined it.
And to the dream that finally came to life.

In summer, the doors open wide to the breeze. In fall and winter, it folds into something more intimate. Part sailor’s bar. Part restaurant. Part clubhouse. A little coastal. A little offbeat. Unmistakably Silver Sands.

And somehow, even now, it still feels like his idea.

The Boathouse opens its doors at 4pm today. Come raise a glass.
