Take a helicopter tour of the cushiest parts of the Hamptons

Beyond its beautiful beaches, bays, and lagoons, there's another type of eye candy that's native to the Hamptons: gorgeous, hidden real estate.

Tucked at the end of snaking driveways, with huge shrubs blocking any chance of a roadside view, some of the East End's most breathtaking homes are rarely seen — at least, until now.

Aerial photographer Jeff Cully of EEFAS captures the area's most exclusive enclaves, and the mansions hidden within.

Our tour of the Hamptons starts in Southampton Village, at the western edge of the South Fork of Long Island.

One of the most prestigious communities on Long Island, Southampton is also the most residential, with tons of bars, restaurants, and luxury boutiques. Tree cover is dense, hiding the celebrity summer homes of celebrities like Rachael Ray, Howard Stern, George Soros, Kelly Ripa, and Tory Burch.

To the east of Southhampton is Bridgehampton, a smaller hamlet. It's a bit more low-key, but no less ritzy. The Hampton Classic horse show is held here every year.
