The Long Island Rail Road station is about 1 km from downtown, on the line that runs from New York to Montauk. Hampton Jitney buses stop in the village. Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) is about 70 km away, and JFK about 130 km. Route 27 connects the village to other Hamptons towns.
How many days
One day for the town center, the history museum, the beach and the Parrish Art Museum.
When to go
June to September for the beach. September and October have mild days and fewer crowds. In winter the village becomes very quiet.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
Walkable, but the town center, the history museum and Coopers Beach are close to each other and can be done on foot or by bicycle. For the Parrish Art Museum and the other villages, having a car is more practical.
