Montauk Hotels, Bars and Nightlife

Although Montauk seems like a sleepy fishing village at the end of Long Island, the town comes alive with a vibrant nightlife as soon as the sun goes down. Montaukers love to fish, eat, drink, and party -- especially during summers when most bars and pubs stay open until the early hours in the morning. Check out The 668 Gig Shack if you're staying at one of the Montauk hotels on Main Street; six-six-eight has 35 different beer labels you can sample, alfresco dining, and live band performances during weekends. OMurphys Pub on Edgemere Road is a typical Irish pub -- traditional servings of lamb stew and shepherds pie, Stella and Guinness on tap, and large portions of steaks and burgers. Watch the sun go down at the Montaukets outdoor daiquiri bar, or dance the night away on Nicks at the beach. Enjoy waterfront dining and drinking at Lennys on the Dock as charter boats come in.

Book Montauk Hotels and Visit the Montauk Point Lighthouse

The Montauk Point Lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse in New York. The Lighthouse, which can be found at the eastern tip of Long Island, was built in 1796 at the time that George Washington was president, and served as a guide for navigators since 1797. Presently, it ranks as the fourth oldest active lighthouse in the US. Those who are interested to learn about the seafaring history of this lighthouse can book Montauk hotels for easier access to the Montauk Point Lighthouse Museum, where guided tours allow for a view of the Atlantic Ocean after a 137-step climb onto the observation deck. The museum houses a whaling exhibit; displays of the original documents from the Second United States Congress outlining the order of the lighthouses construction; and the celebrated Where Land Meets Sea and Sky: Exploring Montauk History through the Richard T. Gilmartin Galleries. If youre in Montauk during Thanksgiving, catch the lighting of thousands of white lights at the lighthouse to signal the start of the holiday season.

Join Seal Watch Walks from Montauk Hotels

At the Montauk Point State Park in Montauk, New York, seals are a major attraction. At least four species of overwintering seals can be spotted on the rocky beach of Montauk Point where these sea creatures sun themselves. A relaxing 3-hour stroll on the sand from Montauk hotels should include watching these friendly pinnipeds. It is recommended to join a guided tour so as not to disturb the haul-out zone. Groups that want to see the seals should get no closer than 70 yards (64 meters) to the resting marine mammals. As you continue your tour, you will also be able to spot different bird species and other marine geology animals. During winter, naturalists from the State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, as well as those from the Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island, lead seal walks every Friday and weekends. Wear warm clothing and comfortable shoes for hiking on sand and rocks and bring binoculars to get an up close look at the seals.
