So, I've always wanted to go to "The Hamptons", but always figured it was way out of my budget. Well, with a little research, I discovered that if you go off-season (we went November, 2008 over Thanksgiving), it's actually quite affordable! Granted, you won't be donning a bathing suit and sun-bathing, but you can still experience many of the charms East Hampton has to offer. For example, the Montauk Point Lighthouse......
Or, if you watch the Food Network, you can visit Barefoot Contessa's home, where Ina Garten lives and where her show is filmed. 
Or you can walk in and around the many windmills
And, since you are in The Hamptons, after all, you never know who you might run into (notice Steven Spielberg walking to the right behind Lacey)
And the mansions lining the beach are, well, breathtaking. 
And, of course, the beach itself. Even if you go off-season, the beach is a wonderful place to spend the day just walking and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Verdict: Page 673 of 1000 Places to See Before You Die. And yes, I agree. You've got to check it out at least once just to see what all the fuss is about and, if nothing else, to see how the "other half" lives. :)
