at their beautiful wrap-around
porches, waterfall pools and private
tennis courts.
Main Street itself is lined with
well-cared-for flowers and benches
and, of course, designer boutiques
sporting one-of-a-kind fashionable
goods. Every restaurant sports white
tablecloths and finely-dressed
patrons. Tate’s Bake Shop, located
just north of Main Street, felt like
being home again, an award-winning
bakery featuring vintage decor and
a grandma’s-house feel with awardwinning chocolate chip cookies.
As we left Southampton after the
long weekend, I felt saddened to
leave my step into the reality that
the East Coast elite live every
weekend - owners of pristine
penthouses in New York City,
flocking to their wealthy beach
houses where they needed no
boardwalks, clubs or fried food to
entertain them. Instead, they were
surrounded by private pools, beach
clubs and tennis courts, where they
took the yacht out for a spin and
talked about the merits of
investment.
Unlike many stereotypical beach
towns, Southampton doesn’t need
a loud boardwalk or storming bars
to remain relevant. Instead, its
undeniable elegance, exceptional
quiet and prominent history makes it
a hit hotspot for families looking for
a globe of luxury to surround them
on a summer weekend getaway.
