Administratively it is in the town of Southampton, Suffolk County, New York, United States. As of the 2010 census, the village population was 1,721.[3] HistoryThe village of Westhampton Beach was incorporated in 1928.[4] In 1938, almost all summer homes on its barrier beach were obliterated by a hurricane resulting in twenty-nine local deaths. Like most of the shoreline of southern Long Island, the beach at Westhampton Beach was eroding shoreward.[5] This became a political issue in the 1960s. The project to protect the beaches in the area from further erosion was started by the Army Corp of Engineers in 1966, but was only partially completed because of the failure to secure funds from the state and local government. In addition the project design was seriously flawed.[6] As a result, there was increased erosion at the beaches in Westhampton Beach while, up current, the beaches actually grew. During the late 1970s and through the 1980s, beach homes were washed away with every severe storm (nor'easter) that hit the coast. It was only after the nor'easter of November 1992 destroyed over eighty homes, that the Army Corp of Engineers began renewed repair efforts.[6] In the mid-1990s, fifteen historic houses were relocated by the Army Corps of Engineers. The homes were moved off the beach and out of harm's way, at least for a while, but the beach is still eroding and addition damage is incurred with every storm.[6] Additional work was required after Hurricane Sandy in 2012.[7] The Crowther House, Foster-Meeker House, and U.S. Post Office are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[8] Westhampton Beach has its own police and fire departments.[4] GeographyWesthampton Beach is located at {{Coord|40|48|32|N|72|38|46|W|type:city}} (40.808995, -72.646009).[9] According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of {{convert|3.0|sqmi|km2}}, of which {{convert|2.9|sqmi|km2}} is land and {{convert|0.1|sqmi|km2}}, or 2.35%, is water.

TransportationWesthampton Beach and the surrounding area is served by Sunrise Highway (NY 27), which is a major artery to the western parts of Long Island and New York City. The hamlet is also served by Montauk Highway (CR 80), a two-lane road which runs from New York City to Montauk. Montauk Highway serves as the "Main Street" of many towns and villages along the south shore of Long Island. The Long Island Rail Road provides limited rail service seven days per week via the Montauk Branch connecting Westhampton to Montauk and New York City. Hampton Jitney coach bus service provides slightly more frequent passenger travel between New York City and Westhampton, especially during summer months. Local Suffolk County buses also provide service to neighboring areas. See also
