Just the Place you Need to Stay this Summer
Hello and thanks for stopping by our website. If you are trying to find information to help you plan your next vacation in the Hamptons, then you have come to the right place. To get started you will first need to make some decisions about where you want to go. Different people mean different things when they refer to “The Hamptons” although the term generally refers to two towns – Southampton and East Hampton – that are found on the eastern portion of Long Island, NY. If you want to plan your next summer Hampton vacation you will first need to make some decisions about where you want to go.
What follows is an overview of the different areas that make up this unique part of Long Island. Each of the areas listed have their own charm, amenities and characteristics that set them apart from the whole. Some areas attract people that are seeking out the beach. Other places are more destinations in and of themselves. Some folks seek out a large and comfortable Hampton rental home that can be rented for a week – others want a summer rental for a week.
Southampton
This town is just west of East Hampton and taken as a whole encompasses almost 300 square miles. The irregular coastline and an abundance of different water bodies means slightly more than half of the total area of the town is water, leaving 140 square miles of land.
The town includes 6 incorporated villages North Haven, Quogue, Sag Harbor (some of which is in East Hampton), Sagaponack, Southampton, and Westhampton Beach. Unicorporated areas, or hamlets, are much more numerous: Bridgehampton, Eastport (some of which is in Brookhaven), East Quogue, Flanders, Hampton Bays, Northampton, North Sea, Noyack, Quioque, Remsenburg, Riverside, Shinnecock Hills, Speonk, Tuckahoe, Water Mill, Westhampton.
Some of these communities offer an abundance of shorter term Hampton summer vacation homes, others offer more longer term summer long home rentals and others are much more residential in that they have a predominately year round population.
East Hampton
There are two incorporated villages, East Hampton and Sag Harbor. The latter is also partially in the town of Southampton. Unincorporated hamlets include Amagansett, Montauk, Napeague, Springs and Wainscott. While not officially a town, hamlet or village East Hampton North and Northwest Harbor are two areas that used as census locations. The latter is sometimes referred to as Northwest or Northwest woods.
