Top Things to do in Hamptons
What to do and see in Hamptons, Long Island: The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas
The legendary Hamptons, a cluster of wealthy enclaves on Long Islands 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.

Took my 3 year old daughter for a drive thru visit yesterday and we all loved it! It was absolutely wonderful that they offered this during a time when we have to socially distance ourselves (COVID-19 time for anyone reading this later on). The staff was beyond amazing and friendly. They did not rush us at all during this visit and they each made my daughter smile and enjoy herself. We can not wait to go back!

This is a great place for a hike, especially with the family. I went with my 2 daughters in their 20s and we chose the red trail (1.4 miles). The trail was easy (I have arthritis of the knees, so it was just fine) and it was clearly marked with benches along the way. Kids will really like the fact that you get to read one page of a children's picture book every few yards, so that once you finish the hike you finish the story. There is also a gazebo along the way with water views. A lovely experience ... highly recommend it!
