One of the most famous beaches on Long Island, East Hampton's Main Beach offers a picture-perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the Atlantic: grassy dunes, golden and impeccably clean sand, crashing waves, and boardwalk give it the feel of a made-for-movies, all-American beach vacation spot.

Well-trained lifeguards keep an eye on the water, and a deck, snack bar where you can pick up a hot dog or ice cream, and bathroom facilities make this a convenient spot for beach-going families. The beach is popular with surfers due to its white-capped waves. It can get busy during the summer months, particularly on weekends; so if you want to avoid a crowd try the beach during the week or on the off-season.
