JFK to East Hampton
The marquee village — Main Beach, the pond, and the airport that names the trip.
Driving lines are real OSRM-routed roads; the train follows the LIRR Montauk Branch; air routes are direct. Times are typical, non-peak estimates.
East Hampton is the name most people mean by "the Hamptons" — the village pond and windmill, Main Beach, and the region’s busiest seasonal airport and heliport. It is the headline destination for air arrivals.

Frequently asked questions
How far is East Hampton from JFK?
East Hampton is about 92 miles from JFK by NY-27, roughly 2 h 18 m of driving in typical, non-peak conditions. Summer Friday afternoons can add an hour or more.
What's the fastest way from JFK to East Hampton?
A helicopter is fastest at roughly 1–1.5 hours door to door (after the JFK→heliport transfer). The LIRR is the cheapest, and the summer Cannonball is the quickest train. A private black-car transfer is the only true door-to-door option and the most reliable when you land late or travel with a group.
Can I get to East Hampton without a car?
Yes — the LIRR and the Hampton Jitney reach East Hampton, though you'll still want a taxi or pre-booked car for the last mile.
