Planning a Trip to Long Island? Visit Montauk Point!

Headed to Long Island? Then make sure to check out picturesque Montauk Point, located on the extreme tip of the South Fork and pinched between Block Island Sound and The Atlantic Ocean.

Montauk can provide an entire day's worth of entertaining activities, beginning with a trip to the Montauk Point Lighthouse Museum. Learn about the history of the lighthouse and then make the trek up 137 steps to a breathtaking view of the ocean, Long Island, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Pick something up at the gift before heading out for a half-day fishing adventure. No experience is necessary for these fun filled trips - experienced captains will provide all of that for you!

Not into fishing? Go sailing for the day, or even take a sightseeing tour in an open cockpit bi-plane! And don't think for a minute that the kids won't enjoy the trip to Montauk Point! There's a petting farm, seal watch walks, and whale and pelagic bird watching trips. Also in the works is the Montauk Observatory, which will provide glimpses into the night sky when weather permits.

Don't worry if all this activity has you too worn out for the trip home because there's a full range of lodging in Montauk as well - everything from tents to luxurious resorts. If you're planning on visiting during the offseason, be sure to call ahead because some businesses and attractions do close for part of the winter.
