Montauk, New York

2 hours 13 minutes to JFK International Airport.

Montauk is on the easternmost end of Long Island. The formerly shabby destination has recently been immigrated by modern boutiques and hotels that are enjoying  the rest of the Hamptons with a wonderful and relaxed style.

This laid-back Hamptons village offers some of the best surfing in the region. Rent a board and a wet suit and then drive to Ditch Plains beach for a lesson with a local instructor.

After surfing the waves, load up on delicious eats at the popular food truck serving breakfast burritos, addictive Asian sesame noodles and Zen Blend iced green tea. Don’t go home yet. Join the crowd in town at the Montauket, a local hangout where you can sip beer while watching the sun set on the horizon.

Montauk Point Lighthouse is a popular attraction among tourists and locals alike. It is located at the easternmost point of Long Island, adjacent to Montauk Point State Park. The lighthouse was the first to be built within the state of New York, and was the first public works project of the United States. It is the fourth oldest active lighthouse in the United States and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated as a National Historic Landmark for its significance to New York.

Montauk also has numerous vintage boutiques and eateries, like Screaming Mimi’s and the tasty surf cuisine at The Gig Shack.
