Think a weekend getaway to the Hamptons or Montauk is an activity reserved for the rich and pretentious? Well we’re here to convince you not to write it off. In this week’s issue, we find the area’s dive bars, quiet beaches, seafood shacks and other nonsceney enclaves, to help you avoid those ritzy, preppy stereotypes and enjoy a chill weekend at the beach. It's possible—we promise.
