Salt Pond is located. Ferry’s available to Montauk, Hamptons.

Hop on a bike or moped and get exploring charming streets, dramatic cliffs,
quiet beaches and pristine nature trails. A collection of exotic and domestic animals is maintained by Justin Abrams, owner of the 1661 Inn & Hotel

lemurs, kangaroos, llamas, emus, sheep, donkeys, goats, swans, ducks, even
camels! They all live happily together on the hillside meadow south of the
hotel. Visitors are free to view the animals here all year long. A wonderful
attraction you won’t want to miss. Feed is available for the hungry goats and
