Suggested Arrival Activities
Make the most of your time in the Hamptons with a mix of relaxation and exploration. You might enjoy visiting the iconic Jackson Pollock House, sipping your way through Wolffer Estate Winery, or soaking up the sun at one of the area’s beautiful public beaches. Golf lovers will also find plenty of great courses nearby.
There’s no formal programming planned, so feel free to explore at your own pace. On Thursday evening, we encourage you to swing by the Talkhouse, an easy, fun spot to start connecting and saying hello to everyone.
