Whether you're looking to dine while dressed to the nines or kick back after a day at the beach, according to Saatchi, Sag Harbor has it all. 

"There are more restaurants choices in this small town/village than in all the others," Saatchi told Business Insider. "Options range from very posh to seriously casual."

Sag Harbor is a bayfront village that's around just four miles from the ocean. It's located in between both East Hampton and Southampton.
