Not far from the bright lights of downtown Manhattan are the windswept beaches and luxurious communities of the Hamptons. Known worldwide for arts, outdoor recreation, and luxury shopping and dining, the Hamptons are made up of historic seaside villages that attract visitors all year long. Jerry Seinfeld, Lorne Michaels and Carl Icahn also own property here. In the summer, you can enjoy the surf and sun at one of the many beaches and in the winter admire the natural beauty of the ocean and the dunes. You'll find everything you want or need with dozens of galleries, local boutiques, and globally recognized luxury shops. While the seafood is exceptional, you can also find delicious food from around the world with a wide range of atmospheres, from fine dining spots to beachfront taverns. This stunning slice of the East Coast is the perfect year-round destination for rest and relaxation.
