In the summer, people across Long Island and New York City flock to the Hamptons. When the hot weather arrives, hoards of people leave Manhattan for the luxury confines of The Hamptons where they can enjoy the sun, while sitting by the pool or ocean, and taking part in an array of outdoor activities. Each town in the Hamptons has its own unique feel, but one thing that remains the same is the amount of activities to be done whether it is going to the beach, kayaking, biking, trips to the wineries or taking in the East End nightlife, there is something for everyone.

Tennis may be the favorite activity of the Hamptons life and there is no shortage of the sport in Eastern Long Island. There is no better way to spend a sunny morning or afternoon than getting some exercise on the court with friends. Below is a list of some of the spots to play tennis, as well as the places to shop for the latest equipment and apparel.

Whether you are in Westhampton Beach, Amagansett or anywhere in-between, we look forward to seeing you on the courts in the Hamptons this summer!
