Traditionally a place where many celebrities have made their home, Bridgehampton is a quiet community when compared with the other areas of the Hamptons. This quaint hamlet features a heritage of whaling and farming, and continues to reap a rich bounty of produce that hungry visitors and residents buy at roadside stands. You?ll love walking in this picturesque hamlet as you scour antique shops and art galleries for the perfect gift or prize to take home.
Named for a bridge built in 1686 that connected Sagaponack and Mecox, Bridgehampton has plenty of history and early American charm. Nearby beaches, wineries, golf, and tennis are abundant when a day of leisure calls. And if wine tasting is what you?re in the mood for, imagine having a winery in your neighborhood. The Channing Daughters Winery still uses traditional methods to produce high-quality Long Island wines. If a day of fishing is what you crave, walk to Kellis Pond and try your luck at catching any of the seven species found there. The Beebe Windmill is also a distinctive landmark that provides a fascinating look into the mechanization of industry in the 1800?s.
