10 Free Things to do in Hamptons That You Shouldn't Miss

January 22, 2022 Jacquiline Darosa

The legendary Hamptons, a cluster of wealthy enclaves on Long Island’s South Fork, remains a celebrity summer playground, with splashy restaurants and nightclubs galore. But lovely beaches, fishing and kayaking attract off-the-A-list visitors, as well. Old money oozes throughout Southampton, while new wealth reigns in East Hampton. Montauk is a hit with fishermen and surfers. The Long Island Railroad travels the Hamptons in an hour. The Sag Harbor Whaling Museum and Montauk lighthouse are popular stops.

Open beautiful outdoor setting; spacious bar area with high top tables and seating. Plenty of room for the band too! Tastings from several beers to choose from and a delicious food truck - perfect! Outdoor lawn games - fun for families with small children too. What a gem!

St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church

Reviewed By nancykX5463JV - Montauk, United States

St. Therese of Lisieux Church is a sacred and beautiful place. Fr. Tom Murray is the pastor and leads his parishioners with a beautiful song at the start of each mass, and he has a magnificent voice. More than the songs we sing each day, Fr. Tom feeds us inspiration and teaches us God;s way. The church is just beautiful and you will enjoy going to mass or even a visit.....light a candle, say a prayer, feel the presence of God.

This is a great place for a hike, especially with the family. I went with my 2 daughters in their 20s and we chose the red trail (1.4 miles). The trail was easy (I have arthritis of the knees, so it was just fine) and it was clearly marked with benches along the way. Kids will really like the fact that you get to read one page of a children's picture book every few yards, so that once you finish the hike you finish the story. There is also a gazebo along the way with water views. A lovely experience ... highly recommend it!

This is a great beach to go to with the family. They have lifeguards and bathrooms and the ice cream truck comes during the day. You can pull right up and take your stuff out and walk on the beach. They have day passes available.
