West Hampton and West Hampton Beach (Southampton, Westhampton: for sale, houses, areas)

[LongIslandercma]

I was looking at some of the houses listed for sale in this area and realized some said West Hampton and some West Hampton Beach. What is the difference between these 2 areas and which is considered the better area? Any info is appreciated.

Westhampton Beach is a self-governing village in the Town of Southampton and Westhampton is a hamlet governed at-large by the Town of Southampton.
