Your East End Experience Starts Here
The East End blends world-class beaches with genuine village charm. Unhurried enough to truly reset and vibrant enough to fill every day with something new, here is everything you need to make the most of your stay.
Wide, open beaches run the length of the South Fork, from Coopers Beach in Southampton and Main Beach in East Hampton to the surf-battered shores of Ditch Plains in Montauk. Along the Peconic Bay, quieter stretches offer calm water and long, peaceful walks with views that rival anything on the coast.
Coopers Beach and Main Beach are consistently ranked among the best in the country, with broad surf and easy access for families. Georgica Beach offers a more secluded escape, while Fort Pond Bay in Montauk is a local favorite for calm, uncrowded swimming. Return to your Luxury Beach Getaway home as the evening light turns everything golden.
The South Fork Wine Country winds through Water Mill, Bridgehampton, and Sagaponack, with standout producers like Wolffer Estate and Channing Daughters worth an afternoon stop. For dinner, Nick and Toni’s in East Hampton makes a memorable evening out. The Parrish Art Museum and Guild Hall round out a cultural scene that punches well above its size.
Southampton anchors the western gateway with grand estates and ocean beaches. East Hampton draws with its celebrated main street and exceptional dining. Sag Harbor charms with maritime history and a harbor that has drawn visitors for centuries. Amagansett is relaxed and unpretentious, and Montauk delivers the wilder edge: big surf, seafood shacks, and its iconic lighthouse. Each is a short drive from your Luxury Beach Getaway home.
