This weekend in The Hamptons, NY

Explore Block Island Sound on a tick-free bay beach walk that blends wide-open coastal views with a scenic yet demanding shoreline. Expect gravelly stretches, soft sand, and uneven footing. On clear days, sights can include Fisher’s Island, the Rhode Island mainland, and Block Island. This out-and-back route lets you set your own pace and adjust the length as needed, with a planned distance of 4 miles at a moderate pace and an estimated duration of about 2 hours. A Town of East Hampton beach parking permit is required. The walk takes place at Gin Beach in Montauk.

Families are invited to the Children’s Museum of the East End for the annual Big Truck Day, a favorite tradition that lets kids get up close to the large trucks and moving machines they see around the East End. Children can climb aboard, explore the vehicles, and take a closer look at how they work, creating a hands-on experience that sparks curiosity and excitement.

Bring the whole family to Guild Hall for a full day of creativity and exploration. Family Day features hands-on art workshops, kid-friendly tours of the galleries led by the Teen Arts Council, and performances by local student artists in the Hilarie and Mitchell Morgan Theater. It is a free, drop-in event designed for families to make art, discover new ideas, and enjoy live student performances together.
