Getting to Know Napeague
Napeague is a low, narrow stretch of land between Amagansett and Montauk, with Hither Hills and beach houses exposed on both sides.

Napeague is a hamlet (a Census-designated place) governed directly by the Town of East Hampton in Suffolk County. By Census Bureau measurements, the hamlet covers about 3.68 square miles of land plus 4.87 square miles of water.
Neighboring communities include Amagansett and Montauk.
Storm, Water and Fire Risk in Napeague
Homes near the Atlantic Ocean and Napeague Bay face storm surge during nor'easters and tropical storms. The wind-versus-water question decides which policy pays, which deductible applies (many Long Island policies carry a separate hurricane or windstorm deductible), and how much the homeowner recovers.
Second homes and seasonal rentals are common out east. Policies on those homes may limit coverage when a house is vacant or unoccupied for long stretches, or require that heat be maintained in winter, and those clauses come up quickly after a freeze-up or a break-in.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Napeague home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
Housing and Claims in Napeague
Many homes in Napeague started as seasonal cottages and have been rebuilt, raised or expanded. Insurers sometimes value those homes as if they were still simple cottages, which can leave a real gap between the estimate and the cost of repair.
