The Hamptons is best known as a summer getaway for New York’s elite. The group of Long Island villages offers history, museums, shopping and dining, and miles of calm, protected beaches. Historic sites include the 17th century Sylvester Manor on Shelter Island and the 18th century Montauk Point Lighthouse. To learn more about the area’s ecology, visit the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center. Take a walk through the 16-acre arts and sculpture garden, LongHouse Reserve. Get on the water with a surf lesson at the Sunset Surf Shack, or take a cruise with Sailing Montauk. The Wolffer Estate Vineyard offers live jazz on Friday nights throughout the summer, or keep it more casual at Zum Schneider’s outdoor beer garden.
