Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center, Southampton, New York, United States of America

Originally a Depression-era movie house in iconic Westhampton Beach in Southampton, New York, the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center has since been converted to a veritable hub of culture in the community. The Center today not only regularly hosts performers and screens culturally important films, it also runs a year round artist development program aimed at molding the next generation of creative in the community.

The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center’s impressive facade is hard to miss along the seaside Southampton Boulevard, and visitors from nearby cities such as Upper Town and Evere regularly come to catch the latest performances. Conveniently, there are plenty of accommodations in the area that cater to every sort of guest, making it easy to pencil in a night out at the Center for the latest movie or theater production. A stay at Baron's Cove is a perfect way for first time visitors to see and experience the typical Southampton architecture and enjoy a seaside breakfast after a night out at the shows. For a decidedly more special stay, a room at the Topping Rose House - a plantation style-manor with top-notch suites and in-house dining options - is hard to beat in Southampton. Check in at The Grassmere Inn, a great alternative accommodations to consider. After a good night’s sleep, visitors might want to visit the 192 Flea Market nearby look for small trinkets to take home, or otherwise just watch the curios on sale. On the other hand, those who find themselves hungry for more art can check out the latest exhibits at the Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens.
