The Hamptons is located about 90 miles east of NYC and has long been known as a playground for the rich and famous. But celebrity antics aside, the Hamptons encompass some of nature's best work. From the majestic Atlantic Ocean to the beautiful bays, from endless farmland to woodsy hiking trails there is something for everyone here. The area is home to top rated golf courses, Bridgehampton Polo, The Hampton Classic horse show, The Hamptons International Film Festival, antique car shows, antiques shops and shows, world class shopping, live theater venues, fabulous nightlife, celebrated art galleries, fantastic restaurants, delicious farm stands and so much more. While the summer season is the most populated, the off season is a favorite time of year for the locals and many visitors too. From pumpkin picking to winery tours and tastings, to cozying up in front of the fire over a romantic weekend, there's nothing quite like it.
