Top 8 Historic Sites in Hamptons, Long Island

April 23, 2022 Lashaunda Abraham

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.

The Docent was very informative and enthusiastic about sharing the information on Pollock-Krasner. The space gives you a feeling of what it was like to live and work together. Much smaller studio than I would have imagined for such a large figure.

Great place. Amazing views. We hiked to the Montauk Lighthouse area and you can go around the Lighthouse stepping on large rocks, it was a little scary. but most of the rocks are flat. Cool experience.
