New York's Toniest Beaches: The Hamptons
The Hamptons
The Hamptons is a title used to describe a string of towns and beaches along the Atlantic Ocean on Long Island, New York. It’s a somewhat misleading title because there are other areas named Hampton and Hampton Beach that aren’t part of “the Hamptons.” A more accurate title would be the Hamptons, NY.
Where Are The Hamptons?
According to Wikipedia, “The Hamptons are a group of villages and hamlets in the towns of Southampton and East Hampton, which form the South Fork of Long Island, New York. The Hamptons form a popular seaside resort, one of the historical summer colonies of the American Northeast.”
What Makes This Area So Popular?
People go to here for three primary reasons.
1. The beaches are beautiful.
2. It’s relatively close to New York City.
3. It’s known as a place “to see and be seen.”
