Plum Picks: The Cut

In the world of cars there are Lamborghinis and there are Ferraris. Both are nice, but a Lamborghini is just a little bit nicer. Much the same, in the Hamptons there are beaches, and then there are beaches. And when you’re talking beaches, The Cut ranks as a Lamborghini.

Located at the very end of Flying Point Road in Southampton, on one side you have the Atlantic and on the other you have Mecox Bay. Crowds aren’t bad, sailors, waders, and kiteboarders take action in the bay while swimmers and surfers take to the sea and fishermen surfcast. Along the bay itself there’s an array of incredible architecture and landscape design, which adds a nice touch to the already pleasant view. Parking is slightly limited at The Cut itself—and beware because nothing gives more pleasure to the ticket boys than slapping one under your wiper. However, if you don’t mind the quarter to half-mile walk, parking at Flying Point Beach solves that problem. 40.891721; -72.330177  Plum Picks: The Cut Southampton NY United States
