Montauk Highway serves as the "Main Street" of many hamlets and villages along the south shore of Long Island.

The [[Long Island Rail Road]] (LIRR) provides limited rail service seven days per week via the [[Montauk Branch]] connecting [[Hampton Bays station|Hampton Bays]] to [[Montauk station|Montauk]] and [[Jamaica station|New York City]]. [[Hampton Jitney]] and [[Hampton Luxury Liner]] coach bus services provide slightly more frequent passenger travel between New York City and Hampton Bays, especially during summer months. Local Suffolk County buses also provide service to neighboring areas.
