Watermill
is located on the South Fork of Long Island, between the towns of Southampton and Bridgehampton. Long Island itself is approximately 118 miles long, and at its’ east end, it fans out into what is called the North Fork and the South Fork. While the North Fork is relatively secluded and quiet, the South Fork is the site of the famous Hamptons and many other small towns and villages, or hamlets. Known throughout the world, The Hamptons, is an internationally famous resort playground. It is renowned for its 50 miles of windswept Atlantic Ocean beaches, world-class fishing and rural maritime charm, combined with a very sophisticated lifestyle. The South Fork extends along the southeastern end of Long Island, from Westhampton, through eleven charming villages to the oldest lighthouse in New York State, The Montauk Point Lighthouse. This region offers an eclectic mix of culture, restaurants, historic sites, nightlife, shops and recreational activities. Just a few of the attractions near Water Mill include the Water Mill Museum, Mulford Farm, the Halsey Homestead, the Wine Country on the North Fork of the island and the East Hampton Town Marine Museum.

Long Island enjoys a four-season, moderate climate, given its relatively northern latitude-which makes it a pleasant place to visit year-round. It is the largest island adjoining the continental United States, extending approximately 118 miles east-northeast from the mouth of the Hudson River, adjacent to Manhattan Island. Winters tend to be unpredictable and summers can be warm and muggy, but offshore breezes help moderate temperatures. Spring and fall are the best times to visit, when temperatures are mild. March tends to be rainy, but temperatures stay above freezing. April's warming temperatures makes it more comfortable and May is generally a gorgeous month on Long Island, weather wise. September to November is pleasant and mild, and the changing leaves make it a beautiful time to visit.
