This year, The Hamptons Edit set out to capture the most breathtaking sunset moments across the East End, from the lively vineyard lawns of Sagaponack to the serene waterfronts of Shelter Island. Each destination offers its own version of magic, and together, they create a sunset map you’ll want to return to again and again.
Duryea’s – Montauk & Orient Point
With sweeping views and a dock that feels like it was made for golden hour, Duryea’s is a must for sunset dining. Whether it’s rosé in hand or their renowned lobster cobb salad, the skies here paint the ultimate end-of-day backdrop.
Wölffer Estate – Sagaponack, NY
Few experiences rival sipping Wölffer Estate’s Hamptons Light Pinot Blanc while watching the sun dip over the vines. Add in live music at the Wine Stand, and you’ve got an iconic East End evening.
The Pridwin – Shelter Island, NY
For a more laid-back but equally stunning moment, The Pridwin’s waterfront Adirondack lawn chairs invite you to linger. A glass of wine, a view of the bay, and the kind of quiet only Shelter Island offers it’s the definition of coastal charm.
Sunset Beach Hotel & Restaurant – Shelter Island Heights, NY
Shelter Island’s chicest perch comes alive as the sun sets over the water. Think glowing lights strung through trees, stylish cocktails, and a crowd that knows how to celebrate summer nights.
Hot Take
Golden hour in the Hamptons isn’t just about chasing a view it’s about savoring a feeling. Whether you’re sharing a bottle of wine, tucking into dinner by the dock, or lounging seaside with friends, each sunset reminds us why the East End is such a magical escape.
Here’s to making every sunset a celebration.
