Top 5 Ways to Stay Cool in East Hampton

The Hamptons is under a heat warning with heat indexes expected to top 100 degrees.

Staying cool is not just about comfort, for some people it’s about safety. Weather like this puts everyone, but especially the very young and older adults, at risk.

Here’s East Hampton Patch’s list of the top places to keep cool:

1. Libraries: The East Hampton Library has air conditioning. Pick up a new book, catch up on your magazine reading or surf the Internet while staying cool.

2. Go See a Movie: Movie theaters are nicely air conditioned and you can spend a few hours enjoying a movie while keeping cool. The Montauk Movie Theater is playing some great movies for the kids, including Despicable Me 2 and Monsters University. 

3. The Beach: East Hampton has some great beaches. So grab a towel, bathing suit and a cooler full of drinks and sandwiches and head down to one of your favorite spots. 

4. A Pool: Do you or maybe you have a friend with a pool? Or pick-up a day pass to Gurney's indoor pool. The water, of course, is a great place to keep cool.

5. Go Shopping: Main Street shops in East Hampton have ac, so why not pop in and check out what's new in the shops and don't forget to stop off at Smokin' Wolf for an ice cream cone or milkshake to cool off.
