8 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Hamptons That You Shouldn't Miss

April 13, 2022 Darleen Reid

The legendary Hamptons, a cluster of wealthy enclaves on Long Island’s South Fork, remains a celebrity summer playground, with splashy restaurants and nightclubs galore. But lovely beaches, fishing and kayaking attract off-the-A-list visitors, as well. Old money oozes throughout Southampton, while new wealth reigns in East Hampton. Montauk is a hit with fishermen and surfers. The Long Island Railroad travels the Hamptons in an hour. The Sag Harbor Whaling Museum and Montauk lighthouse are popular stops.

St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church

Reviewed By nancykX5463JV - Montauk, United States

St. Therese of Lisieux Church is a sacred and beautiful place. Fr. Tom Murray is the pastor and leads his parishioners with a beautiful song at the start of each mass, and he has a magnificent voice. More than the songs we sing each day, Fr. Tom feeds us inspiration and teaches us God;s way. The church is just beautiful and you will enjoy going to mass or even a visit.....light a candle, say a prayer, feel the presence of God.

A must see attraction. This beautiful Lighthouse on the tip of Long Island is worth the trip .You can have a picnic and take a tour and climb to the top of the lighthouse with spectacular views. And you better hurry cause it might go over the edge sooner or later

The Big Duck

Reviewed By richardsA9239KM - Palm Coast, United States

I grew up in Riverhead and when I was a kid, my dad would take us to the ocean to swim and pass by The Big Duck. Us kids would anticipate approaching the curve in the road and would shout out "I see the Big Duck !" in unison to see who saw it first. It was a big event for us little kids. I remember stopping in with my father to buy eggs, giving me a chance to check out the inside of the store. It was tiny. There was a lot of other things hanging on the wall and I suppose it was memorabilia promoting The Big Duck. I vaguely remember getting my father to buy me one of those old painted postcards as a souvenir. I wonder where it is today? The Big Duck was moved to a new location which I think was being developed as a local park, but was later moved back to its original location, much to my delight. I haven't lived in Riverhead for many years, but when I go back to visit, I still feel the excitement of approaching the curve in the road and yelling, "I see the Big Duck !" My wife (from Boston) thinks I'm weird. Richard Schaefer Palm Coast, FL
