THE BLOG #6 - HAMPTONS by Antonella Dedini
The Hamptons are a collection of towns nestled on the South Fork peninsula, the eastern tip of Long Island, the largest island in the United States.
They stand as historic summer colonies along the East Coast, a home and retreat for celebrities of all kinds, an artist's haven with luminaries like Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, and a year-round destination for well-off New Yorkers seeking respite and social engagement on weekends.
The Hamptons' defining feature is their breathtaking, expansive, and wild beaches, known for their long stretches, deserted ambiance, and dunes shaped by the relentless ocean waves. The architecture of homes draws inspiration from the New England colonial style, predominantly featuring light woods, often painted in white, blue, or pastel shades.
Elegant porches and outdoor spaces highlight keen attention to outdoor decor. These luxurious abodes, meticulously designed, are surrounded by immaculate white fences. It's in this backdrop that the renowned novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is set, amid the memorable rhythm of jazz and Charleston dance.
