Southampton, NY
Having always wanted to visit the famous “Hamptons”, I had done some research prior to our trip and Southampton looked to be the best choice for our family. With it’s consistently top rated Coopers Beach, many great restaurants and charming small village, it seemed the perfect place and pace for us. SpecialGlobe set out to spend two nights exploring this quaint little town and we were not disappointed.

What We Did
Montauk Light House
2000 Montauk Highway
Montauk, NY 11954
631-668-2544
The Montauk Point Lighthouse, designated a National Historic Landmark on March 2, 2012 by the Secretary of the Interior, is the oldest lighthouse in New York State. Located at the tip of eastern Long Island with views of Block Island Sound, Atlantic Ocean and beyond makes it a must see! There are over 137 iron steps to reach the top of the tower of the lighthouse. The minimum height requirement to climb to the tower is 41”. There isn’t an elevator to the top so this is not accessible to people with physical limitations. We chose not to make the climb but still enjoyed the beauty and history.
Coopers Beach

One of the most beautiful beaches anywhere! Sand that goes on for miles and big waves for playing in! There is an access mat on the sand to the water for wheelchairs.
