About The Hamptons Beach
The Hamptons are Long Island's famous string of upscale oceanfront villages, where wide, pristine Atlantic beaches meet manicured towns and celebrity summer estates. Beaches like those in Southampton and East Hampton offer soft sand and open surf in one of the country's most exclusive summer settings. The Atlantic here is cool — typically the upper 60s to low 70s°F at the August peak, and cold the rest of the year. Check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, follow posted flags, and swim near a lifeguard.
