If you want a party-free and less-crowded Hamptons scene, visit these hamlets on the North Fork of Long Island.

From Jamesport to Orient the summer is quieter, more relaxing and authentic residents say.  Summer on Long Island most frequently is accompanied by Vineyards, fun, beaches — and crowds. The latter is especially true if your travels take you to the Hamptons, where the population triples in popular destinations like Montauk and Shelter Island.

But you can still go east and visit hamlets on the NorthFork  that provide that summer-in-the-Hamptons experience — with the added bonus of more tranquility.

The North Fork Hamlets comprise of the following:

Jamesport
Aquebogue
Laurel
New Suffolk
Mattituck
Cutchogue
Southold
Peconic
Greenport
East Marion
Orient
