Westhampton Beach Car Service — The Hamptons Start Here (11978)
Every Hamptons story has a beginning, and for most people driving east on Sunrise Highway, that beginning is Westhampton Beach.
It is the first village where the hedges get taller, the roads get quieter, and the speed of life genuinely downshifts. Main Street runs about six blocks — just long enough for a great dinner, a boutique crawl, and maybe a show at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center before your chauffeur collects you at the curb. Dune Road stretches south across the bridge over Moriches Bay to a barrier island lined with oceanfront estates and some of the best beach access on the South Fork. And three miles north of downtown, Francis S. Gabreski Airport — one of the longest runways on Long Island — handles the steady stream of private jets, charter flights, and helicopter transfers that keep the Hamptons connected to the rest of the world.
Westhampton Beach is compact, walkable, and self-contained in a way that most Hamptons villages are not. You can park the car (or better yet, never get in one) and cover everything that matters on foot. Which is exactly why a professional car service makes sense here: you arrive, you are dropped at the door, and you never think about logistics again until it is time to go home.
North Fork Luxury Transporters has been serving Westhampton Beach for years. Our chauffeurs know Main Street, know Dune Road, know the approach roads to Gabreski, and know the fastest way back to JFK when the weekend is over.

Show Night: WHBPAC and the Case for Not Driving
The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center (76 Main Street) is the cultural heartbeat of the western Hamptons. A restored theater seating roughly 400 across orchestra, mezzanine, balcony, and box sections, WHBPAC books an eclectic year-round calendar: touring musicians, stand-up comedians, dance performances, a curated world cinema film series, and family-friendly holiday shows. The intimacy of the room — every seat has clear sight lines and the acoustics are balanced for a space this size — makes it one of the most rewarding live entertainment experiences on Long Island.
Here is the practical problem: WHBPAC sits on Main Street in a village with limited parking. On a sold-out Saturday night, the municipal lots fill up early, and street parking disappears fast. If you have had a glass of wine at dinner beforehand, driving home afterward becomes a risk you should not be taking.
Our solution is simple. We drop you at the theater door before the show and pick you up on Main Street when it lets out. If you are combining the performance with dinner at one of the Main Street restaurants — Ivy on Main, Haskell's, Daphne's, Brunetti Pizza — your chauffeur handles the entire evening seamlessly. One vehicle, one driver, zero parking headaches, zero DUI risk.
For group outings — a birthday, a corporate team event, a family celebration — our 14-passenger Mercedes Sprinter Van seats your whole party together. Arrive at WHBPAC in style, move to dinner as a group, and have your driver take everyone home safely at the end of the night.
Gabreski Airport: Private Aviation Three Miles from Main Street
Most Hamptons visitors think of JFK or MacArthur as their airport options. But for anyone flying private — corporate jets, charter flights, helicopter transfers — Francis S. Gabreski Airport (FOK) is the front door.
Located just three miles north of Westhampton Beach Village, Gabreski is a joint civil-military facility that originally operated as Suffolk County Air Force Base. The main runway stretches 9,002 feet — one of the longest on Long Island after JFK — capable of handling aircraft up to large-cabin jets. The airport is home to the 106th Rescue Wing of the New York Air National Guard, but the civilian side operates around the clock with a full-service fixed base operator (SheltAir) providing refueling, hangar storage, passenger lounges, conference rooms, and concierge services.
What Our Gabreski Airport Service Looks Like:
We meet private jet and helicopter arrivals directly at the general aviation terminal. Your chauffeur is positioned before your aircraft touches down — we track tail numbers in real-time and coordinate with the FBO. From there, it is a seven-minute drive to the village, 15 minutes to Southampton, 25 minutes to Sag Harbor, and 30 minutes to East Hampton. For departures, we reverse the process — picking you up from your Hamptons residence or hotel and delivering you to the terminal with your luggage loaded and zero waiting.
Gabreski also serves as the Hamptons gateway for Blade, JSX, and other seasonal air shuttle services. When helicopter and charter traffic spikes during summer, our fleet handles the overflow of passengers who need ground transportation from FOK to destinations across the East End.
For our airport transfer services covering JFK, LGA, ISP, EWR, and HTO as well, the vehicle options include the Cadillac Escalade ESV, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and larger group vehicles.
Dune Road and the Beach Life
Cross the bridge over Moriches Bay heading south from the village and you land on Dune Road — a narrow barrier island ribbon of sand, ocean, and some of the Hamptons' most coveted waterfront properties. This is where Westhampton Beach earns its name.
Cupsogue Beach County Park: The big public beach on the western end of Dune Road. Operated by Suffolk County, Cupsogue offers lifeguards, a bathhouse, picnic areas, and access to the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Moriches Bay on the other. Vehicle entry fees apply during summer. The beach is also a popular spot for surf fishing and 4x4 access (with a county permit) on the outer stretches. We drop beachgoers at the entrance and return when you have had enough sun — no county parking permit needed, no sand in the rental car.
Rogers Beach: A Village of Westhampton Beach public beach closer to town, with calmer conditions and a family-friendly atmosphere. Lifeguards on duty in summer.
Pike's Beach: Another village beach option, more residential and quieter. Ideal for those who want sand without crowds.
The Ocean Resort at Bath & Tennis (231 Dune Road): A private resort with tennis courts, an outdoor pool, private cabanas, and marina access. We regularly transfer guests between the resort and area airports or restaurants.
The Dune Road lifestyle is built for people who want to be on the water all day and out on Main Street at night. Our car service connects the two seamlessly — beach in the afternoon, shower and change, then dinner and a show in the village without ever touching a steering wheel.
Main Street: Small Enough to Walk, Good Enough to Linger
Westhampton Beach's Main Street covers roughly six blocks, but what it lacks in length it more than makes up for in quality. This is not a strip of tourist traps — it is a genuine village center where locals and weekenders mix over good food and independent retail.
Where to Eat:
Ivy on Main (115 Main Street) — New American cuisine with seasonal menus, craft cocktails, and a lively bar scene. The restaurant that locals recommend first.
Haskell's (77 Main Street) — Seafood-forward with dishes ranging from porgy fish sticks to lobster with shiitake mushrooms. An institution.
Brunetti Pizza (61 Main Street) — Wood-fired pies that draw both locals and visitors. Family-owned, community-rooted.
Beach Bakery & Grand Cafe (112 Main Street) — Baked goods, black-and-white cookies, and the kind of morning pastry that sets the right tone for a beach day.
Hampton Coffee Company (194 Mill Road) — Iced coffee that has developed a legitimate following from Westhampton Beach to Montauk and across the North Fork.
Goldberg's Famous Bagels (65 Main Street) — Soft bagels with every spread and schmear imaginable. Saturday morning essential.
Beach Hut Raw Bar (960 Dune Road) — When you want oysters and a cold beer without leaving the beach.
Where to Shop:Saltwater Long Island for coastal chic apparel. Jennifer Tattanelli for Italian leather goods. Mixology Clothing Co. for curated global fashion finds. Impulse for Men for boutique menswear. Artisans International for home décor and gifts.
Your chauffeur drops you on Main Street and returns when you are done — or stays on standby if you are hopping between dinner, a show at WHBPAC, and a nightcap.

Commercial Airport Transfers: JFK, LGA & ISP from Westhampton Beach
Not everyone arrives by private jet. For commercial air travel, here is how we connect Westhampton Beach to the major airports.
JFK International: About 75 miles west. Under two hours in light traffic, but summer weekends and holiday periods push that closer to three. Our drivers take Sunrise Highway or the LIE depending on real-time conditions, and your flight is tracked throughout.
MacArthur Airport (ISP): Roughly 30 miles — the closest commercial option and usually under 45 minutes door to gate. If you are flying Southwest, Frontier, or Breeze, ISP saves significant time and money compared to JFK.
LaGuardia (LGA): About 80 miles. Factor in LGA's perpetual construction and tight curbside lanes, and our chauffeurs build the buffer time into every booking.
Newark (EWR): The long route at approximately 95 miles. We make it comfortable in the Escalade ESV or S-Class — tinted glass, climate control, a cabin quiet enough to sleep or work the entire way.
Weddings, Events & Everything Else
Westhampton Beach properties along Dune Road and Moriches Bay host intimate, elegant weddings throughout summer. Our Sprinter Vans shuttle bridal parties and guests between the village hotels and Dune Road venues. For larger celebrations, we bring in 34-to-38-passenger coach buses. We also coordinate with the corporate retreats team for executive events and team outings.
The North Fork wine country is about 30 minutes northeast via Riverhead — closer from Westhampton Beach than from most other Hamptons villages. Our wine tour Sprinter Vans depart from Westhampton Beach regularly, covering the tasting rooms in Jamesport, Cutchogue, Mattituck, and Southold.
For prom season, we serve Westhampton Beach High School families with Escalades and Sprinter Vans. Same drill as our other school district communities — safe, professional transportation so parents can relax and kids can celebrate.
