Live Life on the Long Island sound
As you can guess, life in the Hamptons revolves around the seascape—and the range of activities in the Hamptons is no different. Seeing the area from the water is an experience you won’t want to miss. If you’re going for a more relaxed vibe, we recommend chartering a boat for a half-day or full-day cruise. For those seeking something a bit more active, there are paddleboard and kayak rentals available as well.
Soak Up the Sun on the Sand
