The Hamptons is a world-class destination, and in the summer, traffic can get really out of hand. There are many options for getting to the Hamptons, but you will have to plan carefully for price and departure times if you want to make the most of your vacation. This is your Hamptons travel guide to get you through the summer.
HAMPTONS Travel by Train
If you plan on traveling by train, you basically have two options. There is a year-round train that runs to the Hamptons which is budget-friendly but takes about three hours depending on your starting point in NYC. This train makes a lot of stops along the way. In the summer, there is also a dedicated fast track to the Hamptons which only runs on weekends. It picks up at Penn Station on Fridays and brings you home on Sunday afternoon. If you want a simple round-trip option and it works with your schedule, this is the way to go, but it will cost you a little more for the privilege.
Going by Bus
The Hamptons is also home to two different bus lines which operate between the landmark beaches and NYC. For just $35, you can catch a ride on a commercial bus out to your hotel or beach house. Once you’re there, it’s easy enough to catch the bus between beaches and other hot spots. If you want more amenities than the average bus has to offer, you can always charter a bus or sign up for the Hampton Luxury Liner.
