Tucked between the Hamptons and Montauk on Long Island's South Shore, Amagansett is a coastal hamlet whose name—derived from the Montaukett language—means "place of good water." Founded in 1680, this small community attracts those drawn to its protected dunes, wildlife refuges, and quieter stretches of shoreline anchored by Indian Wells Beach. Main Street forms the heart of town with independent shops, arts venues, and casual eateries, while the Stephen Talkhouse keeps the local scene lively with live music well past sunset. Cottages and single-family rentals dominate the housing landscape, though smaller apartment communities and seasonal rentals are scattered throughout. Located within the Town of East Hampton, Amagansett offers easy access to neighboring villages, nature preserves, and the Long Island Rail Road for commutes or day trips to New York City—all while maintaining a genuinely removed feel from the busier Hamptons crowds just minutes away.
