I grew up going to Montauk (when it was much less fancy) and it has remained one of my favorite places to spend my summer. I seem to be phasing out of the night life scene and enjoying more of the early morning coffees and 5pm dinners than my early 20's. With that, I wanted to share some of my current fav spots.
Stay
I'm pretty much a Hero Beach Club purist at this point. It's homey, thoughtful, beautiful, laid back and perfectly situated on the beach and within walking distance of town.
Eat
This year I've been frequenting West Lake a ton. I love sitting at the bar, getting some sushi and listening to live music in a not so stuffy environment.
Shop - Wyld Blue is a staple- especially if you've run out of fits and need something hot and chic.
The boutique at Duryea's has become one of my favorites for unique, curated gifts & of course, lobster merch.
Beach - When I want to cos play local montauker I'll go to ditch plains. The beach is stunning, it's always busy, everyone is so tan and in amazing bikinis. Great place for SI and Vesey inspo.
