3. Kirk Park Beach; Montauk, NY
Dotted with white umbrellas, this beach gives you all the luxury of a Hamptons beach, sans the snobby hype. The buttery sand, perfect waves, and peaceful aura help land this place on our list of the best of the best. Added bonus: parking is free, and let's be real - it's hard to come across anything free in the Hamptons.
