Visit New York's Hamptons, where miles of spectacular white sand beaches and sea grass-covered dunes dazzle visitors; where picturesque windmills provide evidence of an agrarian past; and many Native American and Dutch place names still survive, offering clues to the ethnic makeup of the area's population. Once home to occupying British troops, bootleggers, and whaling captains; longtime home of fishermen, artists, and duck farmers, the Hamptons are also known as the playground of the wealthy, with fabulous shopping, dining, and amenities, but don't be fooled: there's something for everyone in this lovely locale that's so close to New York City but a world away--Cover.

They also point out the quirks and counsel you on which rooms to reserve--and which to avoid. * Loads of information on the innkeepers, location, ambience, decor, restrictions, rates, amenities, baths (private or shared), and recreational facilities. * Comprehensive charts comparing B & Bs' facilities and features, to make it easy for you to find the B & B that suits you best. * All inns visited anew for each revision. * State maps. * Illustrations of top B & Bs. * B & B reservation services. * Covers four states.
