East Hampton Village

East Hampton

Often hailed as one of America's loveliest villages, surrounded by green lawns, an old windmill and colonial houses, with well-known shops lining its main street.

East Hampton Village was founded in 1648 and is often rated among America's most beautiful villages. Around the Town Pond, an old cemetery and shingled colonial houses form a pastoral landscape. Along James Lane, historic buildings include the Home, Sweet Home Museum and Mulford Farm. Main Street and Newtown Lane are lined with luxury brand boutiques, galleries and restaurants. To the north stands the Hook Mill, and walking south leads to the main beach. Summer weekends bring dense crowds and traffic, so it's best to visit on a weekday or in September and October, and you can stop at farm stands along the way.
