Young adults in the Hamptons in the 1970s

During the mid to late 1970s, the Hamptons saw a surge of young adults, primarily singles, engaging in a social scene centered around places like Sparrows Beach in Amagansett and other local spots. The beach culture revolved around traditional dating dynamics, with men typically approaching women, characterized by extravagant style choices like string bikinis and gold body jewelry. Grouping in share houses was a common practice, despite local regulations restricting the number of unrelated individuals in a house.
