    The Shinnecock Canal was the first saltwater canal in New York State, built between 1884 and 1892. Once a site used by Native Americans to carry canoes over land, the Canal today connects two of the most stunning bays on Long Island's eastern side, Shinnecock Bay and Great Peconic Bay, which had become landlocked over time. Though the Hamptons officially begin 10 miles (16.09 km) west of the Canal, it is known as the starting point of this exclusive summer resort, as every modern bridge leading to the Hamptons crosses the Canal.
