Hamptons Guide

8/15 Edited to

... Read moreWhen visiting the Hamptons, skipping Montauk opens up a treasure trove of hidden gems that truly capture the essence of this iconic destination. From my personal experience, spending time at the vineyards like Duck Walk Vineyard and Wolffer Estate is an absolute must. These places offer not only exceptional wines but also beautiful scenic views ideal for unwinding and taking memorable photos. Art lovers will appreciate the variety of cultural spots such as the Parrish Museum and Longhouse Reserve, which showcase distinctive contemporary and classic art in serene settings. I’ve found that visiting the Southampton Arts Center during their Hamptons Fine Art Fair is a great way to discover local artists and even add unique pieces to your collection. A fantastic way to connect with the local community is by visiting the farmstands at Halsey Farm in Water Mill or Corwith's Farmstand, where fresh, seasonal produce and artisanal products await. I highly recommend timing your visit to savor some farm-to-table treats. For those who enjoy staying active while traveling, the Hamptons offer delightful experiences such as goat yoga at Corwith’s and sunrise yoga sessions at Wolffer Estate. The Hampton Flea market is another favorite of mine, perfect for hunting down vintage finds and unique souvenirs. Coffee lovers will not be disappointed either. Places like Sagtown Coffee and Sagaponack General Store serve excellent brews, creating cozy atmospheres perfect for morning relaxation or an afternoon break. Overall, the Hamptons present a perfect blend of relaxation, cultural enrichment, and outdoor fun. Planning your itinerary with these spots ensures a diverse and fulfilling weekend trip that goes beyond the usual tourist trails.

East Hampton Guide (UNIQUE)
You can shop and eat in the village and then drive or walk a few minutes to walk the more historic sites. I love sight seeing unique and old places and the architecture in the Hamptons. If you’re a lover of high end fashion you’ll also like the shops (even if you just window shop). #travelguide

READ THIS BEFORE GOING TO THE HAMPTONS THIS SUMMER
1. Book early, as in a few months! The best rentals go quickly and if you put it off you will only be left with expensive options. 🗓️ 2. Most rentals prefer longer stays. If you’re looking to stay for 1 week-1 month, you will probably have more options to choose from rather than just a weekend.
