Montauk

New York

Head to the east end of Long Island, just beyond the famed Hamptons, for a relaxed experience in a beachy enclave where fishermen, surfers, urban hipsters and families easily mix in the salty air.

On your way to or from Montauk, enjoy lunch at the Clam Bar, a family-favorite, open-air seafood shack, where platters of fried clams might call your name. Stay at the historic Montauk Yacht Club Resort, where all things nautical will serve as your holiday backdrop. A children’s playground, stand-up paddleboards, and fishing expeditions provide plenty of opportunity for fun.
