Shinnecock Hills balances coastal serenity with world-class pedigree. Home to the storied Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, host of multiple U.S. Opens including 2018 and the upcoming 2026, the area also enjoys dazzling bay vistas, ocean breezes, and quick access to the boutiques, galleries, and dining of nearby Southampton. The deep cultural roots of the Shinnecock Indian Nation shape the community’s identity, celebrating traditions that long predate the rise of the Hamptons. Outdoor lovers find plenty to do, from kayaking and fishing on Shinnecock Bay to sunrise beach walks and birdwatching in local preserves across Suffolk County.
Families appreciate strong education options. Much of the hamlet is served by the Tuckahoe Common School District for elementary and middle grades, with older students attending Southampton Union Free School District schools. Nearby, the waterfront campus at Stony Brook Southampton adds continuing education, arts, and marine science opportunities. Commuters value convenient access via the Southampton LIRR station as well as major East End thoroughfares, keeping city trips and weekend excursions within easy reach.
Whether you’re drawn by elite golf, salt‑air recreation, or a quieter residential rhythm close to the amenities of Southampton Village, Shinnecock Hills offers a refined yet relaxed setting.
