East Hamptons beach. The Hamptons are like Deauville for Paris: it is the place to show off in the summer, and for that matter renting a place there can go from a few thousands to a few millions (for example the rental site hreo.com allows to set a price range to refine your search by $100,000 increments only). Consequently most New Yorker cannot afford to go there often, if at all, and in fact are pretty annoyed with the hype around it -> check the great site nukethehamptons.com...
