Bethenny Frankel roasted Hamptons hotspots as “boring” and clogged with traffic Wednesday — saying  she prefers a less-hyped enclave closer to the city.

“For me the juice is not worth the squeeze going all the way out to Montauk or Amagansett — [you] couldn’t give me a house there,” the 55-year-old former “Real Housewives of New York City” star said on Facebook Wednesday.

“I was speaking to someone yesterday who lives in Amagansett and she said she doesn’t go into the town of Amagansett because the traffic is so bad, same thing with East Hampton,” she said.

Even the wealthiest folks can’t avoid the traffic nightmare, she said.

“Billionaires can fly in — but they can’t f-ing fly to the supermarket,” she said. 

Instead, Frankel prefers the town of Westhampton, which is a roughly 1 hour and 45 minute drive from the Big Apple and less on-the-radar.

“Westhampton….is a cute town , like it’s my favorite town, it’s on the beach and there are farm stands,” she said. 

“You can get in and out of the city, you can get to and from airports and you don’t have to be suffocated and a prisoner in your home due to traffic.”

She added, “It can be an hour and a half to travel within the Hamptons. Ain’t nobody got time for that. For me, I’m betting on all the places closest to the city.”

Locals told The Post that Westhampton has gotten more popular in recent years.

“It’s getting the recognition that it definitely deserves,” Westhampton pizzaiolo Michael Brunetti said.

“We have a beautiful windmill now, so people are going to think when they come to town that they’re in Bridgehampton — except for the three-hour drive they saved.”

“Anything west of the Shinnecock Canal wasn’t really considered the Hamptons. But now I’m meeting a lot of folks that are venturing out here.”

“People, especially young people, are really discovering the beauty of Westhampton Beach… and we do have our share of celebrities,” Brunetti said.
