Additional Cost-Saving Tips

🍳 Make Your Own Meals

Cooking at your Airbnb saves lots of money. A family of four can save hundreds by cooking breakfast and lunch. Simple foods like eggs, toast, or sandwiches cost much less than eating out. Shop at local farmers' markets for fresh ingredients!

🎉 Enjoy Free or Cheap Activities

Beaches are the main attraction and many are free or have small parking fees. Spend your day swimming, sunbathing, or building sandcastles! Try hiking or birdwatching at local parks, walk around villages like Sag Harbor for free window shopping, or attend free outdoor concerts and farmers' markets in summer.

🍂 Visit During Off-Season

Summer prices are high but spring and fall costs drop significantly. Hotel prices went up 51% from 2019 to 2022, but off-season rates are much lower. Travel in April, May, or September for lower prices and fewer crowds!

🚌 Use Public Transportation or Carpool

The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) is affordable, comfortable, and drops you right in the Hamptons. Local buses like the Hampton Jitney or Suffolk County Transit take you to beaches and vineyards. Carpooling splits gas and toll costs—plus parking fees at popular beaches add up fast!
