The Hamptons, New York

Living in Sag Harbor

An old whaling village with a harbor-front main street.

Sag Harbor was a whaling port, and its history shows in its captains' houses and narrow streets. Main Street runs down to the wharf, lined with shops, restaurants and a cinema.

It's more low-key than the ocean villages, with a strong year-round community and a bay-side way of life.
