Discover boutique hotels in Bridgehampton, United States

While the beautiful beaches of this quiet Southampton village are a major part of its draw, classy Bridgehampton is dotted with antiques shops, art galleries and eateries. Ocean Road Beach attracts surfers, day-trippers and past-dusk beach party goers; laid-back and lifeguard-supervised Mecox Beach is Bridgehampton’s best bet for a family day in the sun, surf and sand. This little pocket of the Hamptons is also home to upscale equine pastimes, including the annual Hampton Classic Horse Show and the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge.

When to go

As standard with any vacational playground, summer sun will bring the crowds – on holiday weekends such as Memorial Day or 4 July you could spend more time stuck behind your wheel than on the beach. Your social calendar’s likely to have a bit more glitter during these months, though. The chilly Atlantic waters mean winters do get cold – but you’ll be bundled up by a wood-burning fireplace.

Getting there

  • Planes

    The nearest airport is Islip MacArthur (+1 631 467 3210; www.macarthurairport.com), 50 miles from East Hampton; JFK (www.kennedyairport.com) and LaGuardia are both around 80 miles away. If you’re feeling fancy, arrive at East Hampton Airport (+1 631 537 1130) by seaplane or helicopter delivering you from Wall Street and back with Sound Aircraft Services (+1 631 537 2202). Catch a flight from The Standard NY on their seaplane shuttle StndAIR with tickets starting at US$29 for off-peak trips(+1 855 786 3247).

  • Trains

    Long Island Rail Road’s Montauk line (+1 631 231 5477; www.mta.info) is likely to get you there the quickest and cheapest – it makes five daily trips and takes two hours and 40 minutes to reach Southampton from New York City. It takes about three hours to reach Montauk, at the end of the line. The Cannonball Express, departing on Fridays from Penn Station in Manhattan, is even faster.

  • Automobiles

    You could try to persuade a cab driver to take you beyond the city limits but it’ll probably cost you over $350. Bus options along the Long Island Expressway include Hampton Luxury Liner (www.hamptonluxuryliner.com) and Hampton Jitney (www.hamptonjitney.com). Taking your car or hiring one is a good idea – you’ll need it once you’re there as the towns are spread out.

  • Taxis

    The Hamptons is very spread-out so taxis are expensive. You’ll have to call in advance, but this can be a slow process. Book with East End Taxi (+1 631 324 0077), Sag Harbor Car Service (+1 631 537 7400) or Hampton Car Rentals New York (+1 631 329 1010).
