Community

As the sunlight in the day grows shorter, I become more thankful for my daily trips to the gym.

"We're just thrilled at how we built such a great foundation here on the East End that we are now getting requests from all over Long Island and other places to bring empowerment through the sport of triathlon out into to the world," Roden told us.

"I really love what I do and will keep doing it for as long as possible," he told Hamptons.com.

As one of last year's participants put it, "The trivia stops got us to go places that we had never been to before, which we enjoyed."

"A lot of people don't realize it's only one species and all those names that you hear are really just kind of trademark names," Dunne said about the East Coast oyster.

There is a pretty good chance you may have never even visited this area ever. It's fun to explore, but bring a map and a compass.

"Continuing off last years tremendously attended Feast, we have added new and interesting food vendors, an expanded car show on Sunday and Valet parking!" Rick Martel shared. "Admission is still free and its wristband day everyday at the Carnival!"

"It was a group effort," Jamie Berger shared. "There were many rescue groups involved to help these dogs make their way from the Bahamas to Long Island."

Everyone on the East End has all sorts of beach stories from when they were children, teens, and adults. There are campfire stories, big wave stories, perhaps even some first kiss stories.

"The whole community comes together, there's loads of great food and it's fun for everyone in the family," Lynn Blue shared.
