💡 Tips

Parking at the ocean beaches during summer usually requires an expensive non-resident pass; try walking or biking from town.
The Long Island Rail Road and Hampton Jitney have stops right in the village, making it accessible without a car.
Catch the lively local music scene at the famous dive bar, The Stephen Talkhouse, but arrive early in summer.
Don't miss visiting the working organic farms and farm stands just steps away from the bustling Main Street.

Amagansett, a gem within the Town of East Hampton, captivates with its rustic elegance and deep-rooted history. The name originates from the Montaukett Native American language, meaning 'place of good water.' The hamlet has preserved its small-town charm with a historic Main Street lined with exclusive boutiques, art galleries, and top-tier restaurants. It is a place where agriculture meets the ocean, reflected in the numerous organic farm stands offering fresh local produce. The beaches of Amagansett are among the most beautiful in the USA. Amagansett Beach gives vast, white sandy stretches and the powerful surf of the Atlantic. Further east lies Napeague Beach, a paradise for nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts. Napeague is particularly famous for its dune landscapes and the opportunities for kitesurfing and windsurfing in its protected bays. Culinary-wise, the region is famous for its seafood, especially the legendary lobster rolls enjoyed at laid-back roadside shacks. The architecture ranges from historic captains' houses to modern designer villas discreetly hidden behind high hedges. Accessible by train (LIRR) or car from New York City, Amagansett remains a timeless retreat for artists, celebrities, and those seeking rejuvenation.
