Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 7.2 square miles (18.7 km), of which 6.7 square miles (17.4 km) is land and 0.50 square miles (1.3 km), or 6.87%, is water.

Wainscott has a different landscape than East Hampton or Amagansett. The town is flat: houses border on potato or corn fields that then border on the dune and the ocean. Main Street used to have a general store and a post office. The post office eventually moved to a new building on Montauk Highway and the old post office became a private residence. Before 1935, Main Street was lined with sycamores, but the hurricane took them all down.
