The Hamptons are the ultimate summer playground. Every year,
Coopers Beach in Southampton and
Main Beach in East Hampton are chosen as two of the Top Ten in America on Dr. Beach’s famous list. Along with swimming, sunbathing and occasional movie star sightings, you can enjoy fishing, boating and seaside bike trails. Later, stroll to Main Street galleries and upscale shops.
Along with beautiful
beaches and glamour, you’ll find cultural treasures here. Learn about local history at the
Sag Harbor Whaling Museum and view works by Fairfield Porter and William Merritt Chase at the
Parrish Art Museum. See the studios of two abstract expressionist painters at the
Pollock-Krasner House and year-round theater at historic
Guild Hall. World-class
wineries offer tours and tasting throughout the year.
Autumn brings spectacular foliage and clouds of monarch butterflies. In October, pretend not to be star-struck at the annual
Hamptons International Film Festival.
