Best picnic spot
There's a great spot just at the entrance to Three Mile Harbor.
Best beaches
Main Beach is East Hampton’s long, clean and golden offering; it also has excellent surf.
Best walks
Call a gentleman named Hugh King from the East Hampton Historical Society (+1 631 324 6850; www.easthamptonhistory.org) – this quirky chap gives very entertaining walking tours around East Hampton.
Shopping
The on-site Marina Shop offers basic provisions. East Hampton is the favoured shopping spot – you’ll find everything from haughty Hermès to locally grown hipster label store Blue & Cream (www.blueandcream.com) located at 60 On The Circle. Metro males will love John Varvatos (www.johnvarvatos.com) on Newtown Lane, an industrial space selling cool-as-they-come threads. On the same street, Calypso covers all necessary beach and après-beach attire (www.calypso-celle.com) and Tory Burch sells 60s-inspired sophisticated styles (www.toryburch.com). In Southampton, there’s a beautifully boho collection on sale at Tracy Feith (+1 631 283 7414) on Jobs Lane.
Smith Tip
If you lose reception on your mobile, head to the back of the property close to Three Mile Harbor Road, or on site by the docks. While the Palmer Suites have WiFi the cottages don't, but fear not, there's wireless inside the office/reception room and at the Ship Store by the docks.
