Hampton Bays is a cozy hamlet located within the Town of Southampton in eastern Long Island. The community is bordered by Great Peconic Bay on the north side and Shinnecock Bay on the south side, with a section of the barrier island on the ocean.

The small downtown district along Montauk Highway is packed with locally-owned favorites ranging from the landmark Krieg’s Bakery to the mouth-watering deli at Scott’s to the unpretentious watering hole Doran’s. Many of the community’s neighborhoods are built in an upscale suburban style, with a broad range of apartments, houses, and condos making up the local rental market.
