Hamptons Recreation..Things to do this summer 2013..There are so many recreational things to enjoy in the Hamptons during the course of the summer…over 14 fun activities…Windsurfing, kayaking, swimming, horseback riding, soccer, stand-up paddleboarding, golf, tennis, sailing, baseball, volleyball, basketball, rowing, lifeguarding, biking, and much much more… There are many camps for kids to take part in, some expensive and a couple of very inexpensive camps.

If families are in need of some recreational equipment to take part in these fun activities, they can look at this to find kayaks in different styles so they can join in on the summer fun.

BEACHbikeOne of my favorite hidden secrets in the Hamptons is Amagansett Beach & Bicycle…in Amagansett, NY…I love this business because they offer rentals for Bikes*Kayaks*Surf boards/paddle boards*Boogie boards. They deliver and pick-up and that is VERY COOL. Basically you can have any of these items delivered right to your home and waiting for you when you get to your house. If you are having guest for 1 day or 1 week, you can arrange for a rental and have the bikes or any other item delivered and this way your guest can have a fun-filled week to explore the Hamptons. It’s similar services to you going on vacation yourself and looking on the web for a local bike rental company to collect a bicycle from to use for a day or two. Amagansett Beach & Bicycle is the connoisseur of recreational equipment in the Hamptons with that added touch of delivering. They will also pick-up and deliver if your bike needs repair, they have on staff technicians and therefore they have the added value of experienced staff in-house to help with all of your biking needs.

Holiday House was founded six years ago by Iris Dankner to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer through the interior design industry. Having survived the disease through early detection, Iris has made it her mission to support breast cancer research and help women who are facing the same fight.

In 2008, Iris combined her passion for design and her efforts to help others by creating Holiday House, the first showhouse in New York City to benefit a breast cancer organization. Each year since, Holiday House has recruited top interior designers from across the country to transform the historic Academy Mansion on the Upper East Side, establishing itself as a premier designer showhouse in Manhattan.

Join us in celebrating life and the holidays in The Hamptons this summer and look for the sixth annual Holiday House NYC in Manhattan in November. Proceeds for both events benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®.
