Located on New York’s famous Long Island, the town of Southampton is well known as a “beach town,” however, there’s much more to it than sand and surf. Whether visitors are history buffs, art lovers, foodies, or wine enthusiasts, there’s a little bit of something for just about anyone in Southampton. The town has also started to make a name for itself as the epicenter for culture and arts in the Hamptons, home to attractions like the Southampton Cultural Center, the The Watermill Center, and the Parrish Art Museum.
