Long Islanders increasingly choose Westhampton Beach for Hamptons getaway

Westhampton Beach is experiencing a surge in popularity among local Long Islanders, becoming a more accessible alternative to other Hamptons destinations. This shift is driven by its proximity and relaxed atmosphere. The town's appeal stems from its shorter commute, recent renovations, and a more casual environment, attracting visitors from across Long Island. New businesses are opening, and the area offers amenities like beach access and a less ostentatious vibe. Unlike other Hamptons towns, Westhampton Beach offers a more laid-back experience, with a focus on local businesses and a less competitive social scene. Its accessibility by boat also adds to its appeal.
