Why Stay in Southampton/Near Shinnecock Hills

Get Ready for the Excitement of the U.S. Open Championship

Your Guide to the U.S. Open: A Memorable Experience Awaits

• Proximity – Staying in Southampton or directly around Shinnecock Hills means you’re minutes away from the tournament venue, reducing travel time, traffic stress, and maximizing your time enjoying the event and region.
• Luxury + leisure – The Hamptons region offers upscale homes, beachfront or near-beach settings, excellent dining, charming village shops, and the laid-back yet refined ambiance that makes a stay feel special.
• Vacation rental market advantage – With the U.S. Open drawing large crowds, the rental market in the area will be very busy. Staying right in Southampton gives you a strategic home-base.

Tips for Booking & Planning for the U.S. Open Stay

• Book early – The homes above are likely to fill for the U.S. Open period. Reach out now and mention June 2026.
• Clarify dates & durations – Events like the U.S. Open often require a minimum stay and may have premium pricing for the tournament window.
• Transportation & parking – Staying in Southampton means less driving; ask us about parking, shuttle options, and best arrival/departure times.
• Ask about amenities – Especially for event week: pool heating, outdoor spaces, comfort features (AC, Wi-Fi), and how accessible the property is for event logistics. Some homes (like the lake-front one) may offer quieter stays, great for decompressing after event days; others (pool/hot tub/beach) bring full luxury for the stay.
• Consider your schedule – You’ll attend the tournament, but you’ll also want some downtime: beaches, local restaurants, village walks. Choose a property that lets you pivot between event and leisure.
• Budget for premium – Expect elevated rates for the U.S. Open period + possible extra fees (pool heating, hot tub, cleaning).
• Confirm proximity/travel to venue – Even staying in Southampton, check how long it will take to get to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on event days (traffic will be heavier).
• Reserve your home first, then tickets: Secure your vacation rental so you have the stay sorted, then lock in tournament tickets.

Attending the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills is more than just about golf — it’s an experience. By securing one of these Southampton-area homes via Luxury Beach Getaway, you’ll position yourself for both front-row tournament access and a top-tier Hamptons experience.

The North Fork isn’t just about vineyards and beaches—it’s also home to some outstanding farmers markets that showcase the region’s freshest produce, best baked goods, rustic charm, and community spirit. If you’re staying with us at one of Luxury Beach Getaway’s North Fork properties, here are five markets you won’t want to miss:

---

1. Greenport Farmers Market (Mitchell Park, Greenport)

When: Every Friday from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm (May through October) 
Why go:

• It’s beautifully located in Mitchell Park right by the water, so you can pair a market run with a stroll along the waterfront. 
• Expect fresh fruits & veggies; breads; meats, seafood, cheese; artisanal goodies like pickles, preserves, baked goods, and more. The variety is excellent.

Pair it with your stay:
If you want to be just minutes away from this market, consider relaxing at the Luxury Beach Cottage: Wineries, Shopping & The Hamptons. This charming beach cottage is not only close to vineyards but is also perfectly positioned for visits to Greenport.

---

2. Riverhead/East End Food Market (Riverhead)

Where & When: This is a year-round farmers market (through East End Food Institute) located in Riverhead, operating several days per week plus Saturdays.
Highlights:

• Extensive selection of fresh local produce, baked goods, seafood, cheese, jams, honey, etc.
• Rain or shine: don’t let the whether stop you from exploring the market.

Near which property:
For a stay that gives you easy access to Riverhead’s amenities (including this market), check out our Once Upon a Tide: a true beach house on the North Fork that is spacious, offers great views of the Long Island Sound and easy drives into Riverhead.

---

3. Little Creek Oyster Farm & Market (Greenport)

What & Where: Located in Greenport’s Bootleg Alley, this is a seafood market/raw bar. 
Why it’s special:

• You can get oysters, clams, smoked fish and other seafood fresh off local boats. Perfect if you love maritime flavors.
• The setting is classic North Fork—port-side, rustic, charming. Great for bringing back tasty items to your vacation rental to cook or just enjoy overlooking the harbor.

Combine with which stay:
The Sunset Perch: with a private pool and rooftop deck, this North Fork house is an excellent option. After gathering seafood from Little Creek, you can fire up the BBQ or grill at the house and dine al fresco with a view.

---

4. Farm Stands & Roadside Markets Across Riverhead & Mattituck

Looking for something less formal? See where the day takes you when you take a scenic drive along Sound Avenue. You will find a network of farm stands and roadside markets across Riverhead, Mattituck, and neighboring towns—one of the North Fork’s greatest charms.

What you’ll find:

• Seasonal produce (berries, corn, peaches, tomatoes, etc.)
• Orchards offering “pick-your-own” fruits when in season (apples, peaches, berries, etc.)
• Homestyle baked items, homemade jams, honeys, artisan items, often from generational family farms.

Stay nearby recommendation:
If you want to be immersed in the farm-stand culture, check out our Large Modern North Fork Barn: this vacation home’s backyard backs up to the vineyards, and many of the farm stands are just short drives away.

---

5. Seasonal & Specialty Markets

These are markets that pop up or run only seasons (spring through fall, harvest times) or are focused on specialty items (flowers, pickles, mushrooms etc.). Some examples:

• Pure specialty producers via Greenport Farmers Market (mushrooms, small-scale picklers, bakeries, etc.) 
• Vendors in the East End Food Market who specialize in baked goods, cheeses, plants, crafts. 
• “Popup” offerings at wine farms or vineyard stands, especially during harvest time or weekends. You must try Palmer Vineyards’ Sunset Fridays event, offering wood-fired pizza that showcases farm-to-table ingredients harvested right on the North Fork.

Stay suggestion:
To be ideally located for these specialty runs, try the Diana Luxury Retreat Private. It gives a peaceful base from which to explore markets, vineyards, and hidden seasonal gems.

---

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Market-Hopping

• Go early: freshest produce, best baked goods, and the best picks from vendors often disappear by mid-day.
• Check seasonal hours: many markets are seasonal; some shift indoors, some close during winter. The East End Food Market is year-round; Greenport’s market is seasonal. 
• Bring your gear: reusable bags, cooler for perishables (especially seafood), cash (though many accept cards).
• Mix market visits with scenery & wine: The North Fork has wineries, farm vistas, waterfronts—and many properties make for a lovely home base to spread out what you’ve gathered.

You’ll want these all to yourself

The North Fork is a place of pause. While the Hamptons hum with energy, the North Fork whispers—drawing in those who seek privacy, unspoiled views and a quieter kind of beauty. At Luxury Beach Getaway, we guide our guests toward experiences that feel personal. These lesser-known beaches offer room to breathe, uninterrupted moments and a sense of discovery that can’t be found in a crowd.

1. Bailie Beach Park, Mattituck

Set high above the Sound, this bluff-top beach is often overlooked. The shore stretches wide with driftwood and dunes. On most days, you’ll have it nearly to yourself.

2. Truman’s Beach, East Marion

A small, pebbled beach just off Route 25. It’s easy to miss, which is exactly why you’ll love it. The water is clear, the views are wide and the pace is wonderfully slow.

3. Nassau Point Beach, Cutchogue

Located at the tip of Nassau Point, this quiet bay beach is known for calm water and soft sand. It’s ideal for an early swim or a late-afternoon nap in the shade.

4. Klipp Park (Gull Pond Beach), Greenport

With gentle waves and a grassy approach, this tucked-away beach offers a relaxed atmosphere perfect for families or solo sunseekers. Bring a book, leave the schedule.

5. Kenney’s Beach, Southold

Just off a winding road near the heart of town, Kenney’s Beach is an easygoing place to swim, walk or simply sit and listen. There’s something comforting about its simplicity.

6. Goldsmith’s Inlet, Peconic

A rare find. The inlet connects to a broad stretch of Sound-side beach. Here, shallow currents meet quiet coves. It’s a lovely spot for nature walks or barefoot exploration.

7. Orient Beach State Park (the unmarked cove)

Venture beyond the designated beach and walk along the shoreline trail. Around a bend, you’ll find a hidden crescent of sand bordered by trees and still water. Few ever go that far.

8. Town Beach, Southold

A locals’ favorite. The long stretch of shoreline is ideal for morning strolls or an evening glass of wine. It’s low-key, unfussy and often blissfully empty.

9. Cedar Beach, Southold

Waves roll in gently over polished pebbles. There are tidal pools at low tide and some of the best sunset views in the region. Bring a blanket and stay through dusk.

10. Norman E. Klipp Marine Park, Greenport

Don’t let the name fool you. Beyond the marina, there’s a peaceful beach with soft sand and a view of Shelter Island. It’s a quiet place to unwind just a short drive from town.

Discover the North Fork’s Effortless Charm

GQ highlights why the North Fork is a must-visit destination, from its thriving wine scene to its laid-back coastal vibes.

“The Hamptons in the summer is like Midtown Manhattan on New Year’s Eve…But there’s another kind of summer weekend out there, and it’s not that far off. Actually, exactly as far as the Hamptons: just two-and-a-half hours’ drive from Manhattan, Long Island’s less-travelled North Fork (the Hamptons makes up the South Fork) has become the cooler peninsula. 

At various times dubbed the Hamptons’ “country cousin” and the “Brooklyn of Long Island,” it’s known by the easy-going locals as NoFo. Chill holidaymakers are drawn to the former farmland’s waterfront wineries, tucked-away beaches, boutiquey design stores and roadside farm stands. Even with a slew of upscale new openings, the North Fork has managed to maintain a vibe that’s unapologetically relaxed…”
