How to Use This Westhampton Beach, New York Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Westhampton Beach, New York. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of New York or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Westhampton Beach.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Westhampton Beach occupies a slender, sun-bleached edge of the world where the land yields gracefully to the salt-heavy air of the Atlantic Ocean. It lies 6.8 miles southwest of Hampton Bays, NY (from Hampton Bays, NY: bearing 228°T), and is situated 8.3 miles south-southeast of Riverhead. The horizon here remains remarkably flat, a low-slung expanse of sand and dune that defines the outer boundary of Westhampton Island. Beyond the immediate reach of the surf, the landscape softens into the quiet, brackish reaches of the Aspatuck River, which meanders through the marshes with a sluggish, rhythmic persistence. To the north, the terrain remains largely level, though the distant suggestion of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally haunts the imagination of those looking toward the far western haze. The light at midday here possesses a peculiar, bleaching quality, stripping color from the shingles of seaside cottages until everything settles into a uniform, weathered gray that mirrors the churning tides.

Westhampton Beach carries the weight of a long maritime heritage, its economy having shifted over generations from the hard, physical labor of coastal harvest to the seasonal fluctuations of a summer retreat. Visitors often gather at the Atlantic Ocean Beaches to witness the migration of light across the water, a stark contrast to the sheltered, stillness found further inland near Old Ice Pond. The local pace is dictated by the turning of the tides and the arrival of the warmer months, which bring an influx of life to the village center and the surrounding lanes. While the distant, rolling relief of Henrys Hollow remains five miles away, the character of Westhampton Beach is firmly tethered to the sea, maintaining a quiet dignity that persists long after the vacationers have departed and the autumn winds begin to rattle the dune grass.

About This Westhampton Beach Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Westhampton Beach, New York. Coordinates: 40.806972, -72.645072. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Westhampton Beach includes the ZIP code (11978), telephone area code (914, 845), county seat of Suffolk County (Riverhead), and school district assignment (Westhampton Beach Union Free School District).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
