Map of things to do in Montauk:

Block Island Ferry

The Block Island Ferry is a great way to get from New York City or Montauk to the small island of Block.

If you're looking for an alternative route between NYC and Montuk besides flying via airplane or driving along I-95 then definitely consider taking this unique ferry ride instead - it's sure to be one trip you won't forget!

Ditch Plains Beach

Ditch Plains Beach is home to some amazing views and unique attractions. Located directly next door to Navy beach, Ditch Plains has its own boardwalk area where people can hang out with friends/family while walking along the ocean's edge or enjoying the view - it makes for quite an experience especially when there are coming in off-shore as well! There are also some food options available, but it's best to bring something with you if possible.

Enjoy Dinner at The Lobster Roll

This is a great spot if you're trying to get in some seafood before heading out for the evening.

They are known for their lobster rolls, but there are plenty of other options available as well. Don't forget about their delicious dessert menu either!

The Surf Lodge

The Surf Lodge is a great spot for those who want to enjoy some drinks and entertainment. This popular bar and restaurant has plenty of TVs inside so you can watch whatever sport is on while also grabbing something to eat! The food options here are delicious, but be sure that you call ahead if your group gets too big - the bartenders aren't very good at accommodating large parties (especially during peak hours).

Visit a Local Marina

Montauk has many marina's where you can sit back and enjoy the company of locals. The best part is that they're almost always dog friendly! You'll find everything from bars to restaurants, all with stunning views over looking the water. Look for discounts on local coupon sites before heading out.

Go Fishing

If fishing is one of your favorite hobbies then you will be in heaven here! There are plenty of businesses who offer boat rentals or tours so don't hesitate to check them out when planning your trip - feel free to even bring your own equipment if you have it! Just make sure both yourself and any guests know how to operate a motorboat safely beforehand as there aren't many beaches to dock along the coastline.

Check Out Main Beach

This is a great spot if you're looking for something more secluded! It's located at the very end of Ditch Plains - just follow it all the way down until you reach an area that doesn't have many homes lining the beach. You'll find plenty of sand, but also rocks so be careful about where you step! There are no lifeguards here either so keep your eyes on kids at all times.

Enjoy A Sunset Cocktail

One of our favorite things to do at sunset is grab a cocktail and head down to one of Montauk's many docks or marinas - if your hotel allows it that is! It doesn't get much better than watching the sun set over the water while enjoying an ice cold drink by your side, but be sure to keep an eye on children around boats as they have been known to crash here from time to time. If this isn't allowed at your current place of stay feel free to check out Main Beach which has plenty sand space for everyone who wants a front row seat during sunset. There are always people walking along the water here as well so you'll have plenty of company!

Go for a Run

If running is your thing then be sure to bring some sneakers with you. There are many trails located within the town that run along the waterfront, and thanks to their small size they're perfect for those who want a quick jaunt before heading out on the town.

Go Hiking

Speaking of trails, another fun thing to do is go for a hike! There are plenty in and around Montauk so take your pick.

Have Breakfast on the Pier

Just a short drive from Main Beach is Montauk's most famous pier. If you're in the mood for something light before heading out on your day feel free to grab a pastry or some fresh fruit - they have plenty of options at this place! Just watch out if it's raining as there isn't much shelter along the boards, but we've never seen them close down due to weather so don't let that stop you from enjoying breakfast here when possible.

Go on a Kayak or Paddle Board Trip

Before heading out for the day be sure to check with your hotel if their beach allows kayaks and paddle boards. This will allow you to explore more freely as they come in handy during low tide when there isn't much access along the water frontage due to seaweed build up from high tide. You'll have plenty of time before sunset so don't worry about having enough time to go out and enjoy a kayak or paddle board trip!

Take A Sunset Cruise

As the sun begins to set over Montauk you'll see why this is such a popular activity. There are several companies that offer sunset cruises for those who want to take in the views from the water, but we recommend going on your own personal boat if possible - just be sure not to disturb other boats along the way by keeping at least 100ft away while traveling between land and sea.

Camp out under the stars (Restricted)
