History 
 
West Hampton Dunes represents a blueprint for coastal hazard management and habitat enrichment. At one time, West Hampton Dunes was the poster child of what could go wrong with a project. Today, it is a lesson in successful partnership and coastal management. The shoreline of what is now the Incorporated Village of West Hampton Dunes has experienced increased erosion since the construction of a groin field to the east of the Village boundary. The erosion eventually led to a breach in the barrier island in 1992, and in loss of private property. Legal action by the residents against the Federal, State and local governments lead to a stipulated settlement that allowed redevelopment of the Village, improved public access, endangered habitat enrichment and vital coastal flood and erosion protection. The beach and dune restoration project has performed above expectations and the redevelopment of the Village has proceeded in concert with endangered species rejuvenation and public access.
