In August, the Jet Set crowd descends on the Hamptons
Long Island’s north shore beaches with fluffy white sand are world renowned. The Hamptons are a summer staple for both Manhattanites and the jet set. Come August, the crown of the jet set shifts its attention from Europe’s southern coast to the majestic grace and more laid-back experience of the Hamptons.
Perhaps it’s the laid-back attitude of Americans after 3 months of all-night parties or the fact that “The Hamptons” doesn’t have big hotels and limited B&B’s that require home ownership that makes this the hot spot of the second fortnight. of August. The Hamptons is a calmer, more relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere than most other places on the Jet Set circuit. The days are spent on the beach. Lunch on an outdoor grilled fish that swam in the Montauk Shelter just hours before, accompanied by the giant vegetables that grow on the island. Giant Hampton tomatoes and grilled sweet corn on the cob are Long Island specialties and draw fans from around the world. After a bottle of wine for lunch and a lazy nap in the hammock, it’s time to dress up in a sundress and hat and stand on tiptoe so your high heels don’t sink into the ground and watch the polo match. drinking champagne and socializing. with friends. On cloudy days, East Hampton’s original shops fill up, often there’s an impromptu hot tub party or a movie showing in a home theater on someone’s property and then the gentle nudge of a masseuse at home before of the dinner.
The Hamptons are made up of a series of small towns in a row, each with its own distinctive personality. Old money and new money mix.

The Hamptons is an incredible list of “Who’s Who” from around the world gathered, not to walk a red carpet in long dresses, but with their feet up on a table, their children squealing with delight catching fireflies and their wet golden retriever , who had just cooled off in his pool, begging someone to throw him a tennis ball. After all, the super rich are people too.
