From NYC and western Connecticut:
Take any bridge to Long Island and get on the Long Island Expressway going east. Continue to the last exit and follow signs to Orient Point.  About one half mile past the circle where the hospital is - three or four lights - turn left on Northville Turnpike. Go approximately two miles to the end of the road and turn right on Sound Ave, a winding two way country road, which will become Rte 48, a four lane highway. 

Continue several miles until the four lane road narrows to two lanes again. Turn right at the traffic light onto Horton's Lane. 

* Go to the end of Horton's Lane, approx. 1/2 mile, and turn right onto Main Road (25). Make an immediate left onto Oaklawn Ave.

Continue past school and over bridge. Make first left onto Pine Neck Road. Go approx. 1/4 mile and turn right on North Bayview Rd. Go approx. 1/2 mile over bridge. SYC will be on your left.

Another version of how to go when the LIE ends:

Take County Road 58 to Route 25 through Aqueboque, Jamesport, Laurel, Mattituck, Cutchogue, and Peconic. At the Gulf Station before you enter Southold, turn right onto Main Bayview Road and make an immediate left onto Pine Neck Road.  Go 0.8 miles and turn right onto North Bayview Road.  Take North  Bayview over bridge and the yacht club is the first building on the left.

When you pass small shopping centers on your right and on your left, and a Tidy Car auto detailing business at the next corner on your left, go to the next light and turn left onto Horton's Lane, and follow directions above starting at * .
