Westhampton Beach
A small seaside village at the western end of the Hamptons, with a lively main street and a wide Atlantic beach on the Dune Road side.
Westhampton Beach is the first seaside village you reach after driving into the Hamptons from New York City. Its Main Street has a theater, ice cream shops and outdoor restaurants, and it is especially lively on summer weekends. Crossing the bay bridge to the Dune Road side brings you to the barrier island beach facing the Atlantic. It is less crowded than the areas around Southampton, and has public beaches with lifeguards. The village is small, making it suitable for a half-day visit or a rest stop on the way back to New York City.
