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.
