The place to be, and be seen, the Hamptons extends to Montauk Point, through the towns, Hamptons-East Hampton, Southhampton, Bridgehampton, Hampton Bays, and Westhampton. Charmed with beautiful beaches, quaint villages, freshwater ponds, vineyards, and restaurants serving freshly-caught fish, the Hamptons is also charmed with a delightful array of antique shops. More than 65 shops are located on the South Fork, in 15 villages along the 48-mile stretch of Route 27, from East Moriches to Montauk. These shops offer a wide variety of desirable items for all different price points.
The Hamptons is also host to a number of revered antique shows. In Easthampton, Mulford Farm has Saturday shows on the last weekend in June and the first weekend in August, and in mid-September. In Bridgehampton, on the first weekend in June is the Garden Antiques Show and Sale, and on the last weekend of June and July, there is the Friday/Saturday Antiques and Design in the Hamptons Show. If you’re looking for bargains over high-priced items, make sure you hit the Weekend flea markets at Elk’s Field in Southampton. There’s a reason New Yorkers escape to the Hamptons in droves every Spring, Summer and Fall – spend a long weekend here antiquing, rejuvenating on the beaches, and relaxing in the vineyards, and you’ll see why.
