Patchogue has historically been a major shopping and commerce hub of Suffolk County. 'Patchogue' in the narrow sense is an incorporated village with narrow limits, only about a mile and a half wide. East Patchogue includes the eastern portion of Patchogue in the wider sense, as well as the area east of that but still west of the incorporated village of Bellport. This double meaning of 'East Patchogue' is reflected in the naming of New York State Route 27A: It is called 'East Main Street' in the western portion of East Patchogue, and 'Montauk Highway' (as it typically is outside of villages) in the eastern portion. The Patchogue side of East Patchogue is in the Patchogue-Medford School District; the Bellport side is in the South Country Central School District, and its high-school students attend Bellport High School. Some maps even refer to southwestern East Patchogue as West Bellport. The northern part of East Patchogue, which until the 1980s was less developed, has sometimes been referred to as South Medford.

The area around County Road 80 in the western portion of East Patchogue was once commonly regarded as the hamlet of Hagerman. In New York, a hamlet has no official boundaries or government and refers only to a named, settled area. With suburban growth, Hagerman is no longer distinct from its surroundings, and the name has fallen into disuse, especially since the removal of the Hagerman station on the Long Island Railroad. There still exists the Hagerman Fire District.

Prior to its closure, the East Patchogue post office was located at 1415 Montauk Highway.

Pine Neck Avenue boat ramp and fishing pier are on the south shore of East Patchogue. Accessible by the Swan River at the south end of Pine Neck Avenue, this is a main boat access ramp off the Swan River inlet, connecting the Patchogue Bay and Great South Bay, in south central Long Island.

Pine Neck is approximately 400 yards (370 m) east of the Village of Patchogue, located on the southeastern corner of the Swan River inlet and Patchogue Bay. It is an undeveloped Park in the Township of Brookhaven, Suffolk County. Boaters travel from Blue Point, on the westernmost tip of Patchogue Bay, to Howell's Point, on the eastern side of the Bay. Seasonal permits are required for residents to launch their boats. The park can accommodate around 50 cars and trucks.

Pine Neck Avenue Park is on the central shore of Patchogue Bay, and is due north of Watch Hill and Davis Park. The Fire Island National Seashore is one of the Barrier Islands and is a recreational destination for many south shore boaters.

The Park offers a natural beach, fishing pier, two boat ramps, and an adjacent undeveloped shoreline called '40 acres'. Pine Neck gives residents and visitors alike access and scenic views into Long Island's Great South Bay.
