A channel in the barrier dune of the South Shore of Long Island, south of the Suffolk County town of Quogue. The inlet was created by the Great New England Hurricane of 1938.
Station Shinnecock of the US Coast Guard (Group Moriches) is located 1.3 miles north of the Inlet, on the east side of Ponquogue Point. Shinnecock Light (40°50.5' N, 72°28.8' W) stands on the west side of the inlet, and the mournful four-times-a-minute hoot of the light's fog signal is heard often during the events of DW.
During their conversation with S'reee about the Song of the Twelve, Nita and Kit spend a good while sitting on the US Naval Oceanographic platform 3.4 miles south-southwest of the Inlet. During this interlude, Nita notes with some regret that the seagulls which insist on sitting her lap for the duration of the conversation are not housebroken. (DW)
