Long Island Hamptons Romantic Vacations - 5 Things You Must Know

Thinking about planning a romantic vacation to the Hamptons Bays in New York? Before you make reservations and start packing, there are five things you must know before you go.

1. If you are traveling during the hurricane season, make sure to keep track of the weather. You wouldn’t want to travel on a romantic vacation only to have to evacuate due to a hurricane. This goes for any romantic vacation, whether it’s in the Hampton Bays or in the Florida region. Hurricane season usually begins in June and lasts up until the end of November.

2.Going to spend your days on a Long Island beach? Before you do, make sure you check the beach conditions. Beaches can be unpredictable, especial with weather conditions and erosion. You will want to check and see if the particular beach you want to go to is actually swimmable. Weather conditions can actually make certain areas vulnerable. You can have weather conditions sent directly to your mobile phone or you can search online or listen to the local weather advisories on the news.

3.Is the pool you’re planning on swimming in a heated pool? Not all pools are heated.  Some pools at vacation spots are only heated by the sun. You will want to verify this before jumping in.

4.You may also want to invest in your own lounge chair if you’re planning on going to the beach during the busy season. If not, you may want to consider waking up early to reserve a lounge chair before the crowd arrives. There have been many vacationers and beach goers who have arrived at the beach as early as 7:00 am just to reserve a lounge chair in advance.

5. Keep in mind that Long Island beaches tend to charge a parking fee. So, if you’re driving to the beach, bring a few extra dollars to pay for the parking fee at the beach. This doesn’t apply if you’re walking from the hotel to the beach of course.

When traveling on vacation, don’t forget to pack a small safety kit with bandages, rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs for nicks and scrapes (it happens). Always keep your mobile phone charged and keep important emergency phone numbers close by. Most hotels like our Long Island Hamptons Hotel have a listing of emergency numbers available to guests. Always bring along extra bottled water to keep yourself well hydrated during the hot summer months.

Most of all make sure you keep your purse or wallet on you at all times. You wouldn’t want your romantic Hamptons vacation interrupted by getting your credit cards or cash lost or stolen.
In conclusion, make sure you take time out to relax and enjoy your Long Island Hamptons romantic vacation. Even though it may be tempting to fill up each day with activities, you will want to put aside time to unwind and relax with your loved one. After all, that’s the purpose of going on a romantic getaway in the first place!
