Learn about the colonial settlers and the Native Americans who preceded them at the intriguing museums around this picturesque New York town.

The Long Island town of Southampton has beaches, stunning sea views and fascinating museums. It contains a variety of hamlets, many of which overlook the water. Through museum displays, learn about the town’s extensive and continuous Native American culture. In summer or fall, head to one of the sandy bays to enjoy the hot weather. Cooper’s Beach is a regulated long stretch of sand with lifeguard supervision, making it among the most popular in Southampton. Come here to frolic in the ocean with your friends and make sandcastles with the kids.

For a more secluded beach trip, try Shinnecock East County Park for its large stretches of soft sand. Swim in the crystal clear water and watch surfers in the roaring waves. Fish for striped bass.

The friendly town has many parks and open spaces. Attend a concert in the fields of Agawam Park. See the World War I Memorial that was dedicated in 1923. In winter, make snow angels in the fluffy blanket of snow.

Settlers from Lynn, Massachusetts founded the town in 1640. For a better understanding of this colonial town, visit the Southampton Historical Museum. It comprises 12 structures from the 19th century, including a schoolhouse and a barn. To see how people lived centuries ago, visit the Thomas Halsey Homestead. It is among the oldest buildings in the state, dating back to 1660.

The Shinnecock Nation Cultural Center and Museum has a larger focus on the region’s Native American history. Browse various tools and artifacts from 10,000 years of fishing and hunting in the region.
