Choosing the Right Hamptons Beach Resort

When it comes to choosing the right Hamptons beach resort, it’s not too difficult to discover the quintessential vacation paradise in the midst of the Atlantic Ocean. While the ocean is part of the makeup of the south shore on Long Island, the northern shoreline is encompassed by inlets, bays and sounds. Naturally, water sports are all a favorite pastime—whether you’re into surfing, swimming, deep sea fishing, surf casting, boating, whale watching, kayaking or boating—the right Hamptons beach resort offers it all.

The heart of the Hamptons has preserved nearly half of its land as vast space, with beaches, forests, farms, marshes and meadows in the utmost pristine condition. What this means when choosing the right Hamptons beach resort is that vacationers wouldn’t have to go too far to locate a serene, quiet locale to relax, meditate, bike, hike or sunbathe. In fact, one of a number of public trails or even a tranquil country road can lead to your very own special hideaway in the Hamptons.

Enthusiasts of golf can test their skills at the popular Montauk Downs or for a less intense play, you can go to either 9 hole course at the Sag Harbor Golf Course on Barcelona Neck or at Poxabogue in Sagaponack, which is near Montauk Downs. Accessible at plenty of nearby facilities is horseback riding with western trail rides on hand at Rita’s stables in Montauk and the Deep Hollow Ranch, or even English style in Amagansett at Stony Hill Stables.

Aficionados of history flock to the renowned Montauk lighthouse, which was commissioned by George Washington in 1792. Visit the Second House Museum in Montauk built in the year 1797. Then take a tour of the Mulford Farm, as well as the home of John Howard Payne. Payne was the writer/ composer of “Home Sweet Home”. You can add a visit to the Hook Mill in East Hampton, and Clinton Academy. These are interesting sites to learn about life on the east end 300 years ago.

In East Hampton, namely with Guild Hall, the center of culture of the community, the arts are ubiquitous. Guild Hall offers lectures, concerts, theater and exhibits of its array of historical and contemporary fine art. In the hamlet of Springs is the Jackson Pollock House, which provides visitors some insight into Pollock’s creative genius. Also in Springs is Ashawagh Hall, which hosts an assortment of art and cultural events throughout the year. Moreover, Sag Harbor’s Bay Street Theater provides an array of entertainment and cultural venues. 

There are also many galleries and first-class restaurants, as well as world-class shopping to add to your vacation plans. In addition, the Hamptons are still only a short drive from the Big Apple. Thus, choosing the right Hamptons beach resort can be quite an adventure in itself. A combination of village, oceanfront and bayside accommodations will likely offer a locale that is most suitable for you and your loved ones.
