A Short Ride to the Hamptons on the South Fork
We love that the cottage is a great location to easily enjoy the Hamptons without the enormous expense of staying there.
Westhampton is only 15 miles away from the cottage and the start of the towns that make up "the hamptons" which end in Montauk, "the end" of the island.
Some of the best Ocean Beaches in the Country
The south shore of LI has some of the top-rated Ocean Beaches in the country. One of our favorites is Cupsogue Beach in Westhampton which is one of the prettiest public beaches on the east end. It is at the end of the famous Dune Road and has views of the ocean and the bay which makes it the perfect spot for sunset. In the summer, there is usually is a live band and the Beach Hut which serves food and a full bar. (Also on Dune Road is Ponquogue Beach. outside the town of Hampton Bays. )
There are several towns that make up "the Hamptons" which are filled with restaurants, shoppes, entertainment and just oozing charm and affluence. If you chose to stay in Westhampton, we recommend dinner at Post Stop Cafe or the Margarita Grill on Main Street, Baby Moon Restaurant for good Italian food. , get ice cream or a treat at the bakery
