Beach Personality: An East Hampton Beach With A Cape Cod Feeling

Two Mile Hollow Beach

Two Mile Hollow Beach is in a residential neighborhood only 2 miles from the center of East Hampton Village, yet it has a remote, natural feeling to it. It’s a long, medium width beach with low sand dunes on the western edge of the sand. The sand at Two Mile Hollow Beach is some of the nicest sand around: it’s soft, light tan and extremely clean.

Two Mile Hollow Beach is widely known as a gay friendly beach, however, it’s a welcoming beach for everyone with a wide variety of things to do there.
