Summer in New York often means a trip out east to Long Island, where the Hamptons is a well-known vacation spot. However, for those who want a quieter alternative, the hamlet of Montauk in East Hampton is also an option. But how do you decide which one is the right fit for your summer vacation? Here are some things to consider before you head out from your New York apartment.

The Hamptons:

East Hampton: Known for its great nightlife with many dance clubs and bars, along with beaches, stores, and restaurants to visit during the day.
Southampton: Mostly known for luxury homes, upscale shops, and celebrity sightings. Renting one of the beautiful beach homes here can give you a taste of the high-end lifestyle.

Montauk:

Part of East Hampton with some good nightlife options, including over 100 restaurants and bars.
Offers a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere than other parts of the Hamptons, with a variety of waterfront options including coastline, ponds, bays, and a harbor, making it a great fishing destination.

Whether you’re looking to party or relax, both the Hamptons and Montauk have their unique offerings for a summer vacation. So, choose according to your preferences and enjoy your trip.
