Rural charm meets Hamptons chic in this East End hamlet. Welcome to Bridgehampton. 

The quaint community of Bridgehampton is known for its vibrant downtown, elegant homes, and world-class equestrian events. The hamlet got its name from the bridge built in 1678 that once connected Bridgehampton — then called Bullhead — to Sagaponack. While its historic Victorian homes and grand mansions make it classically Hamptons, the community’s potato farming roots are still prominent and give it a unique charm. Tree-lined roads, cobblestone driveways, and pristine beaches feature throughout the community.

Venture to downtown Bridgehampton, and you’ll find streets lined with restaurants, boutiques, and antique stores selling vintage goods from around the world. Restaurants offer a mix of fine and casual dining, from classic New York slices to fresh seafood, which you can enjoy alfresco during the warmer months. The beautiful Mecox, W. Scott Cameron, and Ocean Road beaches are great places to dip in the Atlantic or stroll along the sand. The Hamptons social event of the season takes place in Bridgehampton every Labor Day — the Hampton Classic, a renowned equestrian show that draws people from all over the East End and beyond. 

Bridgehampton offers a getaway from busy metropolitan life while still having plenty of culture and entertainment. The Long Island Rail Road provides a convenient connection to New York if the city does call. Modern architecture mingles with historic homes throughout the hamlet: picture a mix of grand Victorians, shingle-style single-family homes, and magnificent coastal mansions. Bridgehampton’s pastoral roots are the basis upon which this community has been built, modernizing and growing while still keeping its rustic appeal.
