Amagansett

Amagansett is a charming town just 4 miles east of East Hampton, filled with art galleries, antique stores, restaurants and shops. Just up the street from the house is Amagansett Square, a very pretty park surrounded by shops, a day spa and an acclaimed restaurant.

In the wee hours of June 13, l942, four German saboteurs in a rubber boat launched by a Nazi submarine landed at Amagansett, bent on committing mayhem in this country. They encountered a Coast Guardsman, who reported them, touching off a 15-day manhunt. Coming from the Midwest, Bando is reveling in the freshness of Amagansett’s striped bass, fluke, sea scallops. There are many places travel agents and travel writers call prime destinations. Many more are striving to gain such status.

The Hamptons

by Dave Jackson

Some of the best beaches in New York can be found along Long Island. If you’ve never been, you’re in for a treat. Drive the entire length of the island and you’ll probably take a good 3 hours. But stop at some of these spectacles, and you could take a lifetime. It’s one postcard after another and much unlike the hustle of downtown New York City. No wonder those who know this area of the country continue to come back time after time. Much like Rio and the beaches that surround it - you just need to get away some time. Unfortunately these beaches cannot be enjoyed year-round like Rio, but still, they make for a wonderful summertime visit.
