We love Bridgehampton — the hush of open fields, the scent of warm soil.

We love the way corn grows taller in August,

and how the roads are remembered every summer.

We love the sea

the tug of a line,

the tilt of a sail,

the salt left behind after a swim.

We love barbecues that go past sunset,

and mornings that start with good coffee and no plans.

We love Almond. L&W Market.

(Yes, we’re biased. But you’ll see why.)

We love Estia’s Little Kitchen,

Pike’s farm stand,

Loaves & Fishes,

The Seafood Shop on a Friday.

We love Sag Harbor at twilight and our friends at Blue & Cream and Goop.

We love the Channing Daughters —

the wines, the land, the name itself.

We love Wölffer. And we love Summer in a Bottle.

We love crossing the bay to the North Fork

and wandering through Beall & Bell.

We love being out East with the people who matter most.

We love imagining a young Charlie Marder and Martha Stewart

walking this land with Alexis,

choosing just the right place for redwoods.

Thank you, Charlie. Thank you, Martha. Thank you, Alexis.

(You picked well.)

And yes — we love the beach.

Always, the beach.

If this sounds like your kind of love story,

we’ve made a place for you:

A Room at the Beach

With love,

Charles and Lucy
