Sag Harbor-Hamptons, New York - Suggestions from the Oliver Community

  • Courtney Leary Says

    Visited recently (June) for the first time. Baron’s Cove was a perfect location and the food and drinks at the restaurant were great. Definitely recommend having a car — it made it possible to visit all of the other Hamptons towns at a moment’s notice and they are all worth a visit. Was so impressed by the shopping & the restaurants in all of the towns, including Sag Harbor.
