The Hamptons Shopping Guide

By Indagare

An easy drive from Manhattan, the Hamptons—a string of beaches on Long Island—is a favorite summer getaway for New Yorkers looking to escape the city. And it’s easy to see why, with its beautiful beaches, buzzy restaurants, beach-chic hotels and a shopping scene that celebrates old standbys while welcoming of-the-minute pop-ups. Here are a few of our favorite places to go shopping in the Hamptons and pick up anything you may need during your stay, whether it’s a beach read, a bottle of wine or even monogrammed towels.Contact Indagare for assistance planning a customized trip to the Hamptons.
