Amagansett
Strip away the pomp of the Hamptons and you get Amagansett. It’s relaxed, understated, and effortlessly cool — no less beautiful than its flashier neighbors, just more authentic. Think wide open beaches, tree-lined lanes, and a real village feel. The downtown is small but lively, with great shops, cafés, and local markets that actually feel local.
Amagansett has long attracted creative types and low-key celebrities — a reputation that dates back to the 1950s and still holds today. It’s home to the legendary Stephen Talkhouse, minutes from Montauk, and known for a mix of historic homes and modern beachfront properties. The vibe is casual, coastal, and quietly confident.

Food, shopping & fun
From iconic spots like The Lobster Roll (LUNCH) to favorites like Rosie’s, Rowdy Hall, and The Meeting House, Amagansett punches well above its weight dining-wise. Amber Waves Farm is a community staple for farm-to-table food and gourmet groceries. Shopping ranges from fashion favorites like Suzie Kondi and Ulla Johnson to vinyl digs like Innersleeve Records. And when the sun goes down, the Talkhouse remains one of the best live-music rooms anywhere.
