A Ride Through Long Island’s South Fork - Southampton to Montauk

The Hamptons, on Long Island’s South Fork, is a string of seaside communities known as a summer destination for the affluent. Long stretches of beach, farmland, towns and main streets with century old homes, and estates hidden behind hedges.

Here is what caught my eye exploring sights in East Hampton, Southampton, Walter Mill, Montauk and more. I hope you enjoy!
