Another beautiful beach in this area of New York is Main Beach in East Hampton. And you’ll find that the locals have built around it in a way that showcases the shoreline. Little environmental impact means you’ll have a long, pristine beach to walk along and surf. Main Beach has been a getaway for wealthy New Yorkers (and others who happen to know the secret) because it is off the beaten path. Because the composition of the sand is quartz, you get some nice dunes in the area along with clean, clear water.
Coopers Beach in Southampton, Long Island, New York was selected as the #1 beach for 2010 by Dr. Stephen Leatherman, who is known as “Dr. Beach” and is the director of Florida International University’s Lab for Coastal Research. How did Coopers Beach get named number one? Well, it is ideal as a clean, family beach and Dr. Beach said he made it number one mainly because people don’t know about the nice beaches up in this area. There is a variety of accommodation in Coopers Beach including beachfront self-catering motels and suites, and several bed and breakfast options.
