A quintessential fishing village and resort destination at the tip of Long Island

Coastal Ocean Beach Scenic Upscale Nature Outdoors Boating Fishing Safe Low Crime Golf Rail Service

Sitting on the easternmost point of Long Island, Montauk has long served as a destination for folks seeking the tranquil and scenic environment of the Atlantic coast. Much of the village is covered by large nature preserves, with protected beaches and forests within just a few blocks of anywhere in town.

The area known as the Plaza forms the centerpiece of the village, surrounded by a diverse collective of locally-owned shops and restaurants: Enjoy your morning brew at Left Hand Coffee, drop into The Saltbox for a fresh seafood feast, or swing by Montauk Brewing Company for a craft pint.

To the north, another cluster of bars and restaurants surrounds Lake Montauk; this area is also home to several marinas, and offers ferry service out to Block Island.
