On vacation in the Hamptons
Located on the North and South Forks of Long Island, the area known as the Hamptons is one of New York’s most popular vacation spots. The Hamptons have a rich and deep history dating back to the 1600s. Like many other New England colonies, it was originally farmland, over the years a port of commerce, starting point of the War Revolutionary, a refuge for artists and poets and a favorite vacation spot. There are even legends that the infamous pirate Captain Kidd visited its shores and left behind buried treasure that is still waiting to be found.
If you’re looking for treasure in the Hamptons, you don’t need to get out your shovel and start digging, just take a stroll through any of its quaint towns and shops and you’ll be rewarded. Many of the cities in the Hamptons, such as Amagansett, Bridgehampton, and Quogue, are filled with historical monuments, museums, and other cultural centers. To get the most out of the Hamptons, you’ll need to visit during peak season, which runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. During this time, all towns and villages will have artist exhibits, traveling museum exhibits, and photography and music concerts.
Many people who choose to vacation in the Hamptons choose to stay for two to three weeks and there are a wide range of accommodation options to choose from. The most basic will be the Bed & Breakfast Inn’s. Run by the owners and a small staff, there is no way you can beat them on service and price. If you’re looking for something a little more private, there are many traditional motels and hotels in the Hamptons that can accommodate you. When you want to get the most out of a Hampton vacation, consider renting an oceanfront home or cabin. Styles range from small intimate cottages to large modern palatial mansions. Beachfront properties are the most sought after locations. Nothing can compare to watching a sunrise from a private balcony every morning. The next time you’re looking for a place to get away from everyday stress, unplug and recharge your batteries, a Hamptons vacation might be just the thing for you.
