About
West Hampton Dunes is a small beach front community on the South Shore of Long Island. It is located entirely on a barrier island system that provides critical hurricane and storm protection to the mainland. In the 1960’s this area became known as the worst beach erosion problem in America.
A group of home owners banded together and after a long, bitter battle, the Village Of West Hamptons Dunes was born. A beach restoration project was put into action and the village blossomed into a thriving and vibrant coastal community.
Incredible Journey; The Story Of West Hampton Dunes traces the history of Long Islands barrier island system from colonial times to present day and pays tribute to the men and women who saved their beach front community.
