Westhampton Beach distinguishes itself from other Hamptons locales with its laid-back vibe and notable proximity to the city, being only 90 minutes away. Known as "Dentist Hampton", the area boasts famous residents like Steven Spielberg and Adam Sandler, alongside its affordability relative to other Hamptons. New developments are in the spotlight, including the revamped Sunset Theater and the upscale Three Ducks motel. Local controversies, such as a recent brush fire and disputes over a gas station by the Shinnecock Nation, keep the community engaged.
"Those who live here are smug about their proximity to the city (under a 90-minute drive with no traffic) and proud of its being less stuffy than villages to the East."
"While there has been a mini-invasion of French beauty founders - Frédéric Malle and the owners of Caudalie recently bought houses here - it's still the most affordable of the hamlets, relatively speaking."
