Fifty miles of seashore with powder-fine sand, secluded bays, and colonial villages make The Hamptons a playground for beach lovers, glamour seekers, culture hounds, and the rich and famous.
Dabble in Hollywood-esque glitz and glamour along the shore at pricey luxe hotels and reservations-required restaurants.
You won’t find cookie-cutter chains in The Hamptons. Accommodations include owner-run resort hotels, historic inns, B&Bs, and rustic motels, most of which provide summer shuttles to the beach. Prices vary according to location and season (don’t expect budget digs in the summer); expect to stretch your buck in spring, fall, and even more in winter, when cold weather slashes prices in half.
