Baiting Hollow

Baiting Hollow is little more than a strip of beachfront on Long Island Sound — all 3.2 square miles of it. A hamlet contained within the town of Riverhead, Baiting Hollow is adjacent to Calverton to the south and Wildwood State Park and Wading River to the west; smack in the center of this coastal hamlet is Bluffs Country Club. Baiting Hollow may have no bigger draw than its enviable beach access, with verdant bluffs and dunes and charming wooden staircases down to the soft sand. Beachcomb during the day and then retire to any one of a range of properties — there are houses, seasonal beach cottages, condos, and even as-yet undeveloped lots on offer.
