West Hampton Dunes, New York
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
West Hampton Dunes is a community in Suffolk County, New York, U.S., on the South Shore of Long Island. The population was 11 at the 2000 census.
West Hampton Dunes is located on a barrier island in the Town of Southampton. The village incorporated in 1993 in attempt to have more control over its precarious state since it was obliterated in the Great Hurricane of 1938, 1991 Halloween Nor’easter (the "The Perfect Storm") and again in a 1992 Nor'easter.
Specifically, the village wanted to have a say in Army Corps of Engineers handling of the barrier beach -- particularly in response to a series of groynes at Shinnecock Inlet that have created major beach erosion "downstream" in the longshore drift.
