Getting around Westhampton Beach when you arrive

Both the Jitney and the LIRR label their stop Westhampton, so confirm the exact pickup point on the Jitney stop map when you book. Neither mode is door to door, so line up a taxi or a ride for the last stretch before you arrive.

The Westhampton Line fare ($32 prepaid) is lower than the Montauk Line fare ($43), and the trade-off is fewer buses: seven each way in the current timetable against eighteen eastbound on the Montauk Line. If your plan needs a late-night return, check the final westbound time before you commit.
