    Private catamaran charters out of Sag Harbor with chilled rosé, a charcuterie spread, and unobstructed views of the bay going gold.

    Japanese-inspired wellness sanctuary in Water Mill with individual spa suites, outdoor baths, and a silence policy that actually holds.

  • Luxe Picnic on Dune Road

    Styled picnic setup between the Shinnecock Bay and ocean with vintage rugs, floral arrangements, chilled champagne, and a local catering spread.

    Group surf lesson at Ditch Plains Beach with instructors who specialize in making beginners look comfortable on a board within an hour.

  • Wölffer Estate Vineyard Wine Tour

    Private tasting at Wölffer Estate's gorgeous Sagaponack vineyard — rosé flights, estate Chardonnay, and a view of the vines that belongs on a magazine cover.

Where you eat

  • Duryea's Lobster Deck

    Lobsters pulled from traps in Montauk Harbor and served at weathered picnic tables with sweeping water views — the definitive Hamptons lunch.

    The Hamptons institution since 1988 — wood-fired Tuscan cooking and a regulars list that includes everyone who's anyone from June to Labor Day.

  • Topping Rose House (Bridgehampton)

    Tom Colicchio's farm-to-table restaurant inside a Greek Revival mansion with produce from its own kitchen garden — elevated and deeply seasonal.

    Classic French bistro that locals swear by for weekend brunch — croque madame, a brilliant Bloody Mary, and a sun-drenched patio.

  • Goldberg's Famous Bagels (Southampton)

    The morning ritual for every Hamptons house share — proper New York bagels, exceptional lox, and a line that moves faster than it looks.

  • Moby's (East Hampton)

    Nautical-modern dining room with a raw bar, excellent oysters, and a late-night energy that keeps the night alive well past dessert.
