Starting at the point where most people agree the Hamptons begin, the Shinnecock Canal is a great place to look out to the water. There are usually boats docked in the canal, and restaurants along the waterside are typically lit up at night.

If you’re driving along County Road 80 to get to Montauk Highway, there’s a great stretch of land that looks out over Shinnecock Bay. The view is particularly great from Edgewater Restaurant.

This windmill, found on Stony Brook University’s Southampton campus, is reportedly haunted by Beatrice Clafin. The building served as her playhouse and when she was still young she fell down the steps, broke her neck, and died. There are reports of people seeing the face of a little girl looking out the windows.

If you have time to stop, Agawam Park is a great place to break from a drive to eat lunch and feed some ducks.

The Parrish Art Museum has beautiful grounds. It’s a fun thing to catch on your drive past.

Located on Montauk Highway in Water Mill, the Corwith Windmill stands on a site that used to be home to another windmill—but the first windmill was actually destroyed in a three-day blizzard in 1811.

Not only is there Poxabogue Pond, but there’s Little Poxabogue Pond, and an adjacent Poxabogue County Park. Plenty of nature scenes.

Sagg Swamp is a local favorite.

The stretch of land that the vineyards is set on is beautiful to drive past.

It may seem weird to have a cemetery listed as a scenic stop on our list, but it has some incredibly old tombstones that have been kept in great condition. Directly next to our previous map point, Town Pond, you can get two birds with one stop stopping in this East Hampton village spot.

The historic Maidstone Club is set on some of the most beautiful land in the Hamptons—which is part of why it has such a good reputation.

Pretty much all of Napeague consists of Napeague State Park, so it’d be a shame to not take a stop to view the beautiful land.

Hither Woods Preserve is an extension of Hither Hills State Park, and the wooded area is just so peaceful to drive past.

If you’re really feeling like you need a break from driving, there are restaurants on and near Fort Pond that you can enjoy the view from.

This golf club is a great place to stop for a view of peaceful golfing.

Drive along West Lake Drive or East Lake Drive to soak in those views.

Located right off the bay, Oyster Pond has amazing water views of the pond and bay alike.

The park that Stranger Things was based on is definitely a bit creepy at times, but well worth the stop.
