Westhampton Beach is a pretty town, about 20 minutes west of HB and very walkable for shopping and dining. I really enjoy the farmers market, held in town on Saturdays at 9am.

Food scene
This is a great place on the water. Creative tacos and rum punch are top notch. The parking lot fills up fast, but there is a satellite lot and shuttle bus just up the road. They accept reservations.

Cowfish is the sister restaurant of Rumba. It is also on the water, and a bit more upscale. The Adirondack chairs, seating areas and outside bar are an excellent spot to spend a summer evening. There is also a cute pirate ship play area for the kids. Make a reservation if you can, and don’t miss the BBQ shrimp appetizer!

Francesca’s is my favorite pizza in town (they also have ice cream). It’s always pretty busy, so call to order at least 45 minutes in advance. They have great traditional slices and pies, and also many interesting renditions. My favorite is the “New Fashioned” which has fresh mozzarella and vodka sauce. Don’t forget garlic knots!

Canal Cafe is very close to the house, and has delicious food. They are open seasonally, so check the website before going. They do not take reservations, but do have a few picnic tables where you can get a drink from the bar and sit watching the boats while you wait. My go-to order is the small lobster roll.

Good Ground Park is just a couple miles from the house. It is a fairly new park with a playground, bathrooms, trails and a beautiful performance space where concerts are held on Thursday nights in the summer. Just bring chairs and a packed cooler!
