The Eastern East End

The Eastern East End

My family has been summering in Amagansett since the '90s, so I've got the keys to Hamptons bliss. The easternmost parts of the South Fork — Amagansett and its neighbors East Hampton, Napeague, Montauk, and Springs — are the areas I know best, and these are the spots I most adore, from eating to shopping to taking in the natural beauty out east.
