Kauai is known as the garden island because of
its lushly vegetated valleys and mountains.
Being the oldest major island in the Hawaiian
chain, the coral reefs are the best developed,
and the beaches are some of the widest,
longest and most beautiful.

 Coopers
Beach takes the number one spot in the 20th annual Top
10 Beaches ra nking
produced by coastal expert Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman,
Director of Florida International University’s Laboratory
for Coastal Research.
Coopers Beach on
the east end of Long Island, New York is the main beach in
the tony Village of Southampton. The Hamptons are world
famous; this is one of America’s Gold Coasts along with Palm
Beach and Malibu where the rich and famous reside and
frequent during the season. Southampton is also steeped in
history; it was the first English settlement, dating back to
1640. Historic mansions grace the beautiful, grass-covered
sand dunes; the turrets of Calvin Klein’s mansion are among
the views visible from Coopers Beach.
Coopers Beach is
officially only 500 feet long, but this stretch of sandy
shore extends for seven miles for the delight of
beachcombers and strollers. A mile or so trek to the east is
the one-of-a-kind St. Andrews Dune Church with its
interesting architecture and tiffany windows; the original
wooden frame was once a U.S. Lifesaving Station. While the
U.S. Northeast coast was pummeled by storms this past
winter, Coopers Beach stood up well with no damage. A wide
beach awaits your visit. Parking is pricey so the best way
to visit the beach at no charge is a short bicycle ride from
the Village of Southampton. Lifeguards are on duty from 9AM
to 5 PM daily, and the pavilion has a wonderful snack bar
for lunch.
