Montauk, NY
"A better fishing ground cannot be found than off this bold, desolate promontory, where nature's two elements - land and water - confront each other in wild, striking contrast."
–The New York Times , August 25, 1889
While less desolate a promontory than it once was, the allure of Montauk remains largely unchanged. Immense natural beauty, a reliance on the abundant waters that surround it, and a location that requires some effort to reach, Long Island’s easternmost town affords an offbeat lifestyle that has intrigued visitors for centuries.
Still more a fishing village than a showy Hampton hotspot, a car in Montauk is more likely to be judged by the number of fishing poles and surf boards it can carry than how much it costs or how fast it goes. With no traffic lights, 6 state parks and about 70% of its land protected from development, Montauk is best enjoyed at a relaxed pace.

Amagansett, NY
It is tempting to simply pass through Amagansett on your way to or from Montauk, but this would be a serious mistake for any East End traveler. With its bucolic landscapes, pristine beaches and quaint Main Street, Amagansett is one of Long Island’s most beautiful towns. Not quite as rough and tumble as Montauk or glitzy and glamorous as its Hamptons neighbors to the west, Amagansett has a strong history and much to offer.
For those who love the outdoors, spend the day at Indian Wells beach, kite surf Napeague Bay or hike the “Walking Dunes”. For those interested in more earthly pleasures, Cyril’s Fish House, Astro Pizza, Indian Wells Tavern and the Fish Farm offer a nice taste of what Amagansett is all about.
