'{{Redirect|Hamptons|other uses|Hamptons (disambiguation)}} [[Image:The Hamptons.jpg|300px|right|thumb|'''The Hamptons''', highlighted (''center'') on South Fork of [[Long Island]], an island {{convert|118|mi|km}} long.]] '''The Hamptons''' refers specifically to about 24 villages and hamlets in the towns of [[Southampton (town), New York|Southampton]] and [[East Hampton (town), New York|East Hampton]] on the far, east end of [[Long Island|Long Island, New York]]. These townships occupy the [[South Fork, Suffolk County, New York|South Fork]] of Long Island, stretching into the Atlantic Ocean. The Hamptons form a popular [[seaside resort]], one of the historical Summer Colonies of the American Northeast. They have some of the most-expensive residential property in the U.S., with three in the Top 10 most-expensive [[ZIP code]]s. Consequently, as a phrase, "The Hamptons" has been associated with great wealth. The [[Montauk Branch]] of the [[Long Island Railroad]], [[Montauk Highway]], and the [[Hampton Jitney]] provide connections to the rest of Long Island and to New York City, while ferries connect [[North Haven, New York|North Haven]] and [[Montauk]] to [[Shelter Island (town), New York|Shelter Island]] and Connecticut. ==West to East== The Hamptons include [[Political subdivisions of New York State|hamlets and villages]] in the town of [[Southampton (town), New York|Southampton]] (going east): :* [[West Hampton Dunes, New York|West Hampton Dunes]] (village) :* [[Westhampton, New York|Westhampton]] :* [[Westhampton Beach, New York|Westhampton Beach]] (village) :* [[Quogue, New York|Quogue]] (village) :* [[East Quogue, New York|East Quogue]] :* [[Hampton Bays, New York|Hampton Bays]] :* [[Shinnecock Hills, New York|Shinnecock Hills]] :* [[Tuckahoe, Suffolk County, New York|Tuckahoe]] :* [[Southampton (village), New York|Southampton]] (village) :* [[North Sea, New York|North Sea]] :* [[Water Mill, New York|Water Mill]] :* [[Noyack, New York|Noyack]] :* [[North Haven, New York|North Haven]] :* [[Bridgehampton, New York|Bridgehampton]] :* [[Sagaponack, New York|Sagaponack]] (village) :* [[Sag Harbor, New York|Sag Harbor]] (village, shared with East Hampton).

Villages and the hamlets of the Summer Colony are distinguished by their significant population increases during the summers, a large number of retail shops and restaurants and extensive arts community. Residential real estate prices in the Hamptons rank among the highest in the nation. In particular, [[Sagaponack]], [[Water Mill]] and [[Bridgehampton]] were cited by ''[[Business Week]]'' magazine as being the 1st, 6th and 8th most expensive zip codes in the nation, respectively (see their articles). Other amenities in the area include prominent golf courses including [[Sebonack Golf Club]], the [[Shinnecock Hills Golf Club]], [[National Golf Links]] in Southampton and the [[Maidstone Club]] in East Hampton. Exclusive private clubs provide additional recreational resources to the very affluent in the area. These clubs include [[The Bathing Corporation of Southampton]], the [[Southampton Bath and Tennis Club]], and the [[Meadow Club]] in Southampton Village. ==External links== * [http://www.town.east-hampton.ny.us/ Town of East Hampton official website]. * [http://www.town.southampton.ny.us/ Town of Southampton official website]. * [http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/18/nyregion/real-estate-101-in-the-hamptons.html?scp=1&sq=hamptons%20real%20estate%20101&st=cse/ "Real Estate 101 in the Hamptons"], ''New York Times''. * [http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2000/08/studios200008?printable=true&currentPage=all/ "Studios by the Sea"], ''[[Vanity Fair]]'', August 2000. * [http://www.forbestraveler.com/golf/expensive-golf-clubs-story.html/ "The Most Expensive Golf Courses in the Country"], ''[[Forbes]]'' magazine. * [http://27east.com/ 27east.com -- the website of local Hamptons newspapers ''The Southampton Press'' and ''The East Hampton Press'']. *[http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_7530000/newsid_7537200/7537282.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm&news=1&bbcws=1 “Ruffling A Few Feathers In One Of America’s Most Exclusive Retreats, The Hamptons”] Tayfun King, ''Fast Track'', BBC World News (2008-08-01) {{Coord|40|53|5.752|N|72|30|3.823|W|type:city(12543)_region:US_source:nlwiki|display=title}} [[Category:The Hamptons, New York| ]] [[Category:Visitor attractions on Long Island]] [[Category:Geography of Long Island]] [[Category:Visitor attractions in Suffolk County, New York]] [[de:Hamptons]] [[es:Los Hamptons]] [[fr:Les Hamptons]] [[it:Hamptons]] [[nl:The Hamptons]] [[pt:Hamptons]] [[ro:Hamptons]]'
