Best Beaches in the Hamptons
As the sun is beaming and temperatures are rising, now is the perfect time to start planning your next weekend trip to the Hamptons. Give yourself that mini vacation you deserve, and check out some of the best Hamptons beaches our neighborhood expert agents have gathered for us.
You can’t go wrong beaching at a place that made its way into the number one spot of 2013 America’s Best Beaches. With its white sand, clean ocean, and an overall relaxed attitude amongst the beach goers, Main Beach is just the place to go for a peaceful day. If you end up getting hungry for a quick bite or lunch, check out Chowder Bowl, the great ocean side snack bar. Because this East Hampton beach is so popular, we suggest you arrive on the earlier side, as they offer only 40 non-resident parking passes for the day!

Located in the Southampton Village, Coopers Beach is a beautiful place with sand dunes, rock-less white sand, and beach grass. Because the sand is so soft and clean, Coopers Beach is known as one of the best beaches in the Hamptons for walking and running. If you want to spend the day tanning, there is a place to rent umbrellas and chairs daily, however, this beach is also a fun place to play in the water, as the waves can be big and great to ride. It doesn’t just stop at the beach - the town is filled with quaint dining, art, and wineries to enjoy after a day at the shore. No wonder Coopers Beach was once named America’s Number One Beach on the annual list.
