The Hamptons have a long-standing reputation as one of the finest beach communities in the United States, and East Hampton is no exception. Most of the landscape is filled with quiet residential avenues, populated by everything from luxurious suburban homes to stunning beachfront estates. The downtown district features a collection of chic shops and spectacular restaurants clustered around the intersection of Main Street and Newtown Lane. The coast of the city is where the long stretches of beaches, large nature preserves, and oceanfront golf courses find their home. When you’re ready for an excursion into the city, you can reach New York in about three hours by car or by train via the Long Island Railroad.
