Recreation

Ocean Beach with big waves and good facilities (bathrooms, food, beach gear for sale, outdoor showers for rinsing). This beach is limited to residents of the Town of Southampton for summer 2020. There is a nearby beach with parking for non-residents. Please ask me and I can provide details. Ponquogue beach is well kept and the staff are great. This beach epitomizes the Hamptons. You'll want to keep coming back. Please note: facilities are available from Memorial day to Labor day.

Meschutt Beach is also well maintained Beach that is open to TOS residents for summer 2020, but this one is on the bay. There are no waves at this beach, just gentle water lapping. There are bathrooms, showers, gear and food for sale. This beach also features a restaurant where you can eat outside just off the beach.

Extensive outlet mall with just about every store you can think of. It's about 22 min from the house. Great for rainy days or if you need a day away from the beach/pool. It's divided into 2 large sections so pick your stores and map it out. Food court and kids options are better in Tanger 2.

This giant fantastic duck is only 12 minutes from the house. The duck is the symbol of Long Island and I have yet to meet a child who doesn't love ducks. Want more? It is also a Chamber of Commerce for the town of Flanders and sells tons of duck paraphernalia inside. Toy ducks, shirts, onesies, you name it.

Every bit as nice as Ponquogue Beach but likely less crowded. It's about a mile west of Ponquogue Beach on Dune Rd. Also public, with paid access and seasonal lifeguards/restrooms/showers/snack bar.

Apple-picking in the fall on Long Island is magical. This place embodies that. There is such a good energy here, and you take that home with you in apples and memories. Super friendly staff.

Food & Supplies

Lots of organic produce, prepared foods, supplements and natural foods. This is not a small health food store, it's like a medium sized supermarket. Not quite as extensive as a whole foods, but it has just about everything you would need. Bring bags to bring your food home or purchase one at the register. The town requires vendors to charge for bags.

Stop & Shops are ubiquitous - and that makes them so dependable. This one is bright and has everything. It's larger than King Kullen and has more prepared foods, produce and promotional items. Plus a pharmacy & bank like all S & S's. It does close earlier though, usually at 10.
