Southampton is typically where realtors and locals define the start of the East End—and thus, this is where everything gas, groceries, hotels, vacation rentals starts to get a bit pricier. The town of Southampton is the largest of the villages on the East End in both population and the size of its downtown. The village of Watermill, named for its historic mill, which you can visit, has its own small downtown area along Route 27 with a few restaurants and a shopping center, but no amenities like a grocery store, pharmacy, or gas station.

To add to the confusion of villages versus townships, Sag Harbor is an incorporated village that sits in both Southampton and East Hampton.
All the East End towns have historic pasts, but the feeling of history is most palpable walking the streets of Sag Harbor. There are options for those who need a cultural fix at places like the Whaling Museum or the Bay Street Theater. Noyack sits to the northwest of Sag Harbor, and North Haven sits on the peninsula due north. Neither hamlet has a proper village or main street.
