About Montauk

As the Sportfishing Capitol, Montauk offers great restaurants, wonderful hotels including Gurney’s resort, a relaxing accommodation for the rest of the family while you’re fishing.

Surfers travel from far and wide to be challenged by the waves of Ditch Plains while sunbathers enjoy the white sands of the ocean and bay coastlines. Windsurfers, pedal boaters and canoeists leisurely move across the waters of Fort Pond Bay.

Montauk provides tourists with opportunities to whale watch, hike, horseback ride, camp, swim, bird watch and a whole lot more.
