What's so special about THE HAMPTONS? 

I love how they don't mention Hampton bays, where the working class force of the Hamptons has always lived, and Westhampton where the entry level super rich live lol

Remember, money does not buy class.

My husband and i had a shop in the Hamptons for 4 fabulous years. Couldn't afford to stay. The area has stunning natural beauty and gorgeous architecture. Each town has its own character....privet hedges in Southampton.....colonial homes in Sag Harbor.....and charm galore. The road to Main Beach has huge trees on either side acting as arches....not the usual scrubby beach shrubs . At the end of the road is one of the world's best beaches. All a bit of heaven

I was lucky to grow up spending summers there and to be 100% I don’t really find it to be that appealing or recommend. The people aren’t that friendly and everything is really inconvenient to get to. It’s not the same as other destinations of similar nature like Cape Cod or Martha’s Vineyard where you can still do stuff and have fun even if you don’t have a lot of money. It’s pretty difficult to do anything in the Hamptons if you aren’t from a wealthy family. Which I found made it feel really stuffy and white washed. If you’re looking to visit the east coast and want to go to a fun coastal spot I’d check out one of the two mentioned above as well as Newport or Nantucket

Loved this!! First video I’ve seen where all the areas are explained.

I actually love the Hamptons and think it's beautiful. I don't socialize or go out, but if you wanna get out of the city, be with family and friends and enjoy peace and quiet, it's perfect. I think people have a misconception about it, like it's LA or something. It's really not. It's actually the complete opposite with some of the most picturesque views in the world.

I wish I was in that upper ring of people unfortunately I grew up in a trailer park 😂😅

For many years, I owned a beachfront co-op in Napeague. As soon as the Hollywood/Wall Street crowd changed the laid back area, I sold and never went back.

Yes, I find this content valuable!👍

Thank you for sharing.

Live in Quiogue, from Manhatttan. It’s great when the summer people leave! Great surfing year round!

More videos like this please!

The whole area is a feast for the eyes

It does look comfortable and relaxing there.

You can insulate yourself from the peasants you fear and live in a bubble of like minded people who hide behind their politics hoping it never comes back to haunt them.

I want to see George Costanza's fake place in The Hamptons!

The east end of Long Island is a special place!

as a local, this video made me cringe

Mommy and Daddy would take us up to West Hampton for the summer to stay at our beach cottage that was built in 1894. Such fun we had as youngsters. Mommy would give such lovely parties. Any one who was on the register I mean to say social register would be there. A beautiful time.

If you grow up sag harbor then you will know the sound of the strings hitting the sailboat mast’s in the wind.

I just wanna party there once 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ because I live in Southampton Township... but not in NY 💀🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m from Philly, yes the Main Line and Chestnut Hill as well as Society Hill are beautiful. The Philadelphia Story with Katherine Hepburn Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart is based on Philadelphia Main Line socialite Hope Montgomery Scott. Hepburn herself attended Bryn Mawr College one of the Seven Sister colleges. Scott was for years principal organizer of the Devon Horse Show.

So much more about the Hamptons besides rich people and their houses though.

This video must have been made by tourists for tourists and explains why a bunch at sloppy snobs come and treat the Hamptons like a resort. The history and daily life of the locals of the Hamptons is much deeper then art or food or money or big houses and prestigious events and the beliefs this video instills about the Hamptons is what is and has been slowly and steadily pushing out the the simple beauties and families that have been milestones in the community forever that have protected the nature and simplistic lifestyle that generations have known and worked hard to preserve. There’s many more small houses, and undeveloped protected land, the land we fight to use that has been used throughout history by our ancestors to fish and make livings for themselves. The history of having navy and army bases. The history of early black settlers in sag harbor and the shinnecock Indians that where hired to run whaling ships because of there knowledge of it. The history of great rescues at sea and family and friends that built the entire community together. The stories fro The history out here are beautiful and intertwined in many different aspects from the sea to land. The Hamptons should not be considered or treated as resort towns but treated with the respect of what it is, a historic land mark with large amounts of tradition and respect. If you want to experience the Hamptons do yourself a favor research the history of each town and hamlet and come visit with respect for how it got where it is today.

Have been to many beach towns on the East Coast from Maine to Florida. Hard for a beach area to be boring, but The Hamptons has done it.

So where is the oldmoney/rich families’ houses usually? I got confused between south and eastHampton😅 it’s for a novel I’m writing!

The clubs on Dune Road. ...kidding, of course.

I've only vaguely heard of this place, but judging that's its near NYC I'd imagine the people are extremely wealthy.

There are many fine people out there that aren't "rich and famous."

The ticks are special.

Do a video on coastal Connecticut.

Being from the west coast i never understood the hype about the Hamptons. I guess when u live in NY u get sick of that concrete jungle so the Hamptons for them is everything.

During a hurricane it is not a place where I would like to be.

2:08 I think Montauk is where George Constanza lived?

Because it has “The” at the beginning of the name. They even used an English narrator for the vid lol

I love the Hamptons, many of my family live there and always love seeing them

Nothing special. I lived in NYC when I worked at a downtown investment bank. I’m from Los Angeles and the Hamptons had zero appeal to me. People liked to go there on the weekends in the summer. However, I preferred to stay in the city. That way, I could get a break over the weekend from all the A holes that I dealt with during the week. NYC however was also an open air toilet so I got out of there as well and never looked back.

This was obviously created by a summer person or someone who has not actually been there before. When did Bridgehampton become the hub of the Hamptons? What Seaside resorts? Wow what BS.

I prefer Onteora Park, Cooperstown, The Berkshires, and Cape Cod for Summering.

Beautiful

The Hamptons are a series of very beautiful historical villages, with gardens, trees, and beaches. However, many people who live there, and VISIT there are extremely entitled, snooty, and judgmental if you’re not as rich as them, they show off their wealth, and are (most likely) extremely insecure. Beautiful place……MANY people who are NOT beautiful. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤔😎🥂

Trafficking wealth

Its close to New York city, Duh

I hear ya, the working class is always left behind.

absolutely nothing special unless you are using a dollar to identify your self

Nothing anymore, it's destroyed but Classless NYC and NJ people. Lost it's charm, too many cars, too many houses no infrastructure to hold this together for long. One accident on 27 and you are about to wait 4 to 8 hours just to cross the canal.

Forgot about Hampton bays and west Hampton

I'm curious.? Do you think it's overly self entitled sense of self entitlement?? Love the architecture and for thoughts of those men who busted ass to earn their money and stature. Just asking.?

I still don't get it, way nicer seaside property along the East coast and way warmer waters.

No Riff Raff for starters. Upper echelon community that mostly prices out the “commoners”. Hence low crime enjoyable place to visit. 😊

I’ll take Rockaway any day over the Hamptons

Or be a complete anti-hero and take a RV/Campervan to The Hamptons. Beloved by the old locals, scorned by the new ones - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VvieoWwrE5E.html

What shit comparing with Sotogrande,and Marbella

I’ll take the North fork over the Hamptons any day of the week

It is very over rated The Best Place to be is in Southampton Village as there the people are friendly and the restaurants are fairly priced along with the retail stores unlike the other towns where every other store in town is a Rel Estate office.Overall the Beaches are nice but the same as other beaches on the East coast.

Absolutely nothing. In my northeast Queens neighborhood I'm right by the water with lovely views and my commute to Manhattan is also much quicker. I might add, we also have sewers.

I live near here year round and barely have a few thousand dollars to my name. My envy and hatred of these people knows no bounds. It is absolutely disgusting that these people get whatever they want while letting other people suffer. They seriously need to spread the wealth out more and it won't hurt them one bit. There must be a special place in hell for these selfish hedonists

There's nothing special about the Hamptons. Also there is way more than Southampton and East Hampton. Bridge hampton is exists, so does Water Mill. All incredibly rich areas with a bunch of shops. There is nothing out there but mansions and over priced everything. I know, I lived 20 mins away for 40 years.

Nothing

who cares!

Wolffer’s Vineyard

The traffic on weekends is at a stand still.
