We love the Hamptons in the fall! The ocean is still warm enough for swimming (often until October) and the breach crowds and traffic jams are long gone. Restaurants, of course, are less crowded, too, and you can pop by pumpkin patches or eat roasted corn straight from the maze at one of the local farms. Here’s a round-up of some great deals for enjoying the Hamptons in autumn.

What’s also great about 1770 House is the Main Street location–you can walk to just about anything in the Village.
