South of the Highway: A Two‑Hour eBike Circuit Through Amagansett’s Hidden Estates and Shoreline.
The SOH Serene eBike Tour threads west from Amagansett into the tree‑lined lanes and oceanward edges of East Hampton, passing manicured mansions, quiet ponds, golf‑course vistas and coastal marshes before pausing at Main Beach and a historic Japanese garden — an intimate, two‑hour ride that showcases some of the east end’s most private landscapes.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A Tree‑Lined Circuit Through Exclusive Estates
Ride west along Bluff Road and Indian Wells highway into hedge‑lined lanes that open onto Dunemere Road and views across Maidstone golf course and Hook Pond — a corridor of manses and manicured landscape that defines the Hamptons’ most private neighborhoods.
Coastal Vistas Where Dolphins and Whales Appear
The tour pauses at Main Beach East Hampton and marsh overlooks where sightings of bottlenose dolphins and occasional humpback whales have enlivened the surf, and where marshes and Shem Creek offer memorable views of local aquatic life.
The East Hampton Duck Pond — A Quiet, Japanese‑Style Refuge
A stop on David’s Lane brings riders to the once‑24 acre East Hampton Duck Pond, a Japanese garden setting with waterfowl, numerous benches, some 25 footbridges and the shrine of St. Francis — a restful contrast to the coastal panoramas.
