Bridgehampton’s long and storied history is inextricably tied to the ocean, lakes, ponds and estuaries that surround it. From whaling and fishing to lifesaving and recreational hobbies, all of the people of Bridgehampton have woven the sea and the waters around them into the tapestry of their community. The water provides food, entertainment and feeds the economy. It has truly shaped its identity and impacted the direction the community has taken over the centuries.
