Montauk Long Island Hamptons Traffic sucks

The one seriously grueling thing about vacationing in the Hampton's is going driving anywhere East of Hampton Bay. It is single road abomination of a traffic jam. Why anybody in their right mind would want drive anywhere during regular hours when it could take you two hours to get there is beyond me. I get why the really rich take helicopters and planes but just traveling up the highway is terrible during the summer going out towards Amagansett and East Hampton. West Hampton is not so bad. Granted this is our second summer in Quogue and getting there is pretty easy once you get through Brooklyn and past Kennedy. On this mini trip the reward was eating Lunch at the Lobster Roll and walking on the beach at the lighthouse at Montauk with the daughter. Although the whole day was lost traveling it was one of those easy trips that turned into 3/4 of a day of driving on a single lane highway. Will I do it again next summer sure just a word of advise for others make sure to bring your black card or wad of cash. Trust me.
