Do you remember either of these two "Clubs," situated along the east end of Dune Road? These two "New York Style Yuppie Clubs," have been around forever! The one in the foreground is "Neptunes," and the Club in the background is "Sommers." I'm sure that the names have changed a few times! When driving down Dune Road, in "the Hamptons," during the summer; it usually took about ten minutes to drive through the multitude of Yuppies, that populated not only the Club, but the parking lot, and also the access road!
Although I do not frequent these Clubs, I did enjoy the "Scene," as I drove through this area, on route to one of my favorite Restaurants. The drive energized my day, it was like taking a day trip to the Zoo! The action was reminiscent of the movie"Animal House." There hasn't been much action at these locations recently; unless I have driven through this area, at the wrong times! I believe that Sommers may be closed; I did not see a sign!
Proceeding East along Dune Road to the end, you will find yourself at the Shinnicock Inlet; I have taken this photo from the Parking Lot, along side of the "Inlet." Many of the "Jet Set," as well as the "Rich and Famous," gather at the Club on the Right. A "scene," similar to that of the Davis Park Casino, everyone dances and drinks on the deck, watching the Sunset, until they drop; with a big smile on their faces! Well, not that bad, just "kidding;" but great fun! Ha Ha. As I understand, this Club is also a "World Class Restaurant," I must try it some time! I could think of no better way to spend a Summer Afternoon!
If you ever find yourself in this area you might want to have lunch or Dinner at the Restaurant called Sunwaters, on the left side of the photo. The chemistry is unusual! This restaurant has an attached Deck, and Bar, that is sometimes frequented by the local fisherman; who want to have a "quick drink," before they "head-out" to sea, for a week or more! I often "kid Around" with the management, saying that I could swear that I saw Billy Joel, fraternizing with the Fisherman! Photo below was taken outside of the Sunwater Restaurant.

Hi Ben, the one photo you took at the inlet next to Sunwaters, is Oakland's Resturant. We have played there several times and taken some jag rides to the resturant for lunch and liquid refreshments and to walk on the beach and enjoy the sunset. It's all perfect and one of the remaining joys of being on Long Island.Best, John
Nature at it's Best!
The rest of the unpopulated area of Dune Road is still kept in it's natural state. I love to take photos in this area! Miles and miles of natural scenery, and Mansions that I could only dream about!
Are You Homesick Yet? Ha Ha
