This summer, my 100 Hidden Gems & Must-Visit Places in the Hamptons series took off in a big way — and so many of you joined in on the adventure. From iconic beaches to buzzy new restaurants, certain reels went viral and became the places everyone was talking about.
Here’s a look at the top Hamptons spots that racked up the most views this summer, plus a few honorable mentions that still deserve a spot on your bucket list.
1. The Hedges with Swifty’s
Dinner under the tent at The Hedges is always magical, and Swifty’s made it the must-visit dining experience of the season. Classic Hamptons vibes, incredible food, and that unmistakable summer energy made this the top-viewed gem.
2. Chanel Summer Salon
When Chanel arrives in the Hamptons, it’s more than just fashion — it’s an event. The Summer Salon drew huge crowds and even bigger online attention, proving that luxury and coastal charm go hand in hand.
3. Camp Rubirosa
Pizza, spritzes, and a pop-up that felt like a secret club. Camp Rubirosa quickly became the spot where everyone wanted to be, and you made it one of the most-watched reels of the series.
