Pick your Hamptons stop first
Choose the village or beach you want to visit before comparing tickets. Southampton, Bridgehampton, East Hampton and Montauk have distinct stops. Check the distance from the stop to where you’re staying or spending the day, and plan how you’ll cover that last leg.
Hampton Jitney or train?
Hampton Jitney
Check the coach’s route, Manhattan pickup location and reservation terms. The Jitney serves the East End with multiple lines and stop patterns. Leave time for road traffic, especially if you have a connection. Hampton Jitney booking and schedules
Long Island Rail Road
Search TrainTime for the exact Montauk Branch station and date. Confirm whether your itinerary starts at Penn Station, Grand Central Madison or another station, and where you need to transfer. LIRR service and schedules
Make the day trip work
Book or check the return before leaving NYC. A summer weekend and an off-season weekday can have different service. If your destination is a beach, check access, facilities and the ride from the stop. If you’re staying in a village, plan around the places you can reach on foot.
