not enough time - had to go home eventually!
In a nutshell
Disappointing...
Gillybob Says: At the end of Long Island you will find Montauk Point Lighthouse.The views here are very rewarding. There is also a museum which is open at varying times throughout the year - it's well worth checking the website below if you wish to visit the museum. Admission to the museum...
cjg1 Says: Montauk Point State Park is literally at the end of everything. The park has the Montauk Point Lighthouse, the beaches (pretty rocky), a picnic area, gift shop and some nature trails. Liz and I like to come to the Park for the lighthouse and the beautiful ocean views. Our...
cjg1 Says: The lighthouse is a definite must see when visiting Montauk. It is literally at the end of Montauk; hence the term the "point". The Montauk Point Lighthouse was built November 5, 1796. It was the first lighthouse in New York State and the fourth oldest active lighthouse in...
Robbie330 Says: most of the beaches in Montauk are public and free. some of the beaches are part of a state park, like Hither Hills, so there's a parking fee ($8). in general, Montauk is a very small, laid-back beach community. my first visits to Montauk were in the 80's during my late...

WashOut: WashOut: Great Dinner and Entertainment
BenW01 Says: GREAT burgers and surprisingly delicious sushi! The ambiance is very relaxed, beachy, and had live music playing. And a plus is that it is very convenient because it is right near the train station. It really is a great place to grab dinner, enjoy live music, and maybe drink...
The Dock: Good food in quirky setting!
Gillybob Says: The Dock is one of those places where not only the food but the surroundings and your fellow clientèle will provide you with entertainment.The menu offers a wide selection but is driven by the fact that this seaside town still has a very active fishing fleet - so good...
engl85 Says: This bar and restaurant is a great place to hang out with friends or even family. You can enjoy food, drinks, and music at a non-pretentious environment. It is just very chill and a great place to go especially during the summer! There is even outdoor seating and a stage for...
Cyrils Fish Bar: Cyrils Fish Bar
mrjade Says: This restaurant has a cocktail bar on the roadside. If you are travelling to Montauk, then you will not miss it, just look for the crowd. It is 'Babe City' during the early evening, but it takes a long time to get served. Make sure to let the bar staff know if you only want...
cjg1 Says: Driving is the way to get around Montauk and visit the Point. It's a nice drive through scenic areas and woods to get to the point. We dis see people walking on the road but they must have beach houses close by...it's just too long of a journey from town out to the end.
richard3206 Says: The train station is a long way (3 miles?) from the town/beach. There is a local bus that goes from East Hampton to the town centre, and provides an alternate way of getting there. Check the timetables though...
Helpfulness
The Montauk Point Gift Shop is a small little shop right by the base of the lighthouse. The shop carries books, christmas ornaments, souvenier tee shirts, toys, pictures, jewelry and home accents. It's a nice little shop to find anything Montauk themed.

Robbie330 Says: be very very aware of deer crossing the roads around Montauk. they come out mainly in the mornings, early evenings, and night. drive slowly and cautiously - when in Montauk what's your rush anyway?
Srechko Says: No matter how brave and adventurous you might get to feel when travelling along Long Island, never, never, go to the bars that are away from towns or located somewhere along the road. Of course we were crazy enough to do such a thing. That night we were driving along the...
richard3206 Says: Be aware that there is an Oceanside Beach Resort as well as an Ocean Beach Resort. I was booked (through Expedia) at Oceanside... but was inadvertedly taken by the taxi to Ocean... They were happy to take my money even though they hadn't received my booking. I ended up...
Srechko Says: It is very difficult to exchange any currency anywhere in Long Island or cash travellers cheques. Luckily we had enough money for the length of our stay beacuse I had to wait for us to come back to New York to get some money.It seems that local people are not used to foreign...
Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: We normally spend just a day at Montauk and are on to our next destination so just a backpack for me.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Comfortable shoes if you plan on doing any hiking. Flip flops or water shoes for the beach. Bathsuits for a dip in the ocean. Shorts and lightweight clothing for the summer weather.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sun Block
Photo Equipment: My digital camera and video camera
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: towels, umbrella, beach chairs

Flipboy Says: Camp Hero also goes by the name The Montauk Project, which insinuates the nature of the bases rumors. Everything from mind control to the creation of beasts and antichrists to weather control have been linked to this rundown military base. There are numerous books written on...
chodearm Says: The backdrop was dramatically shrouded in fog adding darker tones to the waters in front of me. Fishing boats weaved in and out of the patchyness and birds sat silouetted on off-shore rocks. Waves scraped rock against rock as it repeditively slapped the shore. Long Island is...
chodearm Says: I was taught to share when I was in pre-school and I was quite a sharer. I would partition my lunch, slice up my jokes, and give plenty of laughs. But I start demonizing what i learned in those early years when it comes to sharing my sand real estate. I do share the places I...
chodearm Says: The cliffs look like a snaggle tooth grin, or displace you to Bryce Canyons NP Hoo Doo's. Erosion is literally eating up the Island. People try to climb these cliffs and aid in speeding erosion. Yo, stay off the cliffs. Rain run-off carves these many structures which look...

A Saturday morning redevous to the farthest reaches of the Island of Long. By-passing the Hamtons traffic fell into place with aid of early departure. The TRADE PARADE was a hal-hour or so behind us,...
Montauk is the very last town at the easternmost point of Long Island in New York. It is very quiet and very beautiful. Alaina and I visited overnight in 2001 for a peaceful getaway.
Montauk is on the South Shore of Long Island and is a big tourist destination in the summer months. People flock to Long Island in general for the beaches and to escape the city heat. Montauk is a bit...
