Amagansett is an Indian name meaning "place of good water." Settled in 1690 by sons of a New Amsterdam merchant, it was ideally suited for farming, fishing and whaling.

Fast forward to modern times, and Main Street retains many of its original buildings as private dwellings, shops and bed-and-breakfasts.

Here's a traveler's guide to that town in between tony East Hampton and relaxed Montauk.
