Known as "The End," Montauk sits on the easternmost tip of Long Island's South Fork. Its wide, white beaches are breathtaking and known as surfing meccas. In 2009, Surfer magazine named Montauk one of the Ten Best Surf Towns in America.

With over 20 marinas, countless hotels and motels and plenty of seafood restaurants, Montauk's charms go beyond its stunning Atlantic beaches.
