Sunset drinks in the Hamptons

The best seats for the last hour of light, from a dock in Noyac to a beach in Montauk.

Sunset out here is a reservation problem. These rooms face water or open sky, and most do their best business between six and eight. Aim for a table 45 minutes before the sun goes down, and keep a walk-in deck like Oakland's or The Montauket in your back pocket for the nights nothing is open.
