Summer will be over with before you know it, so make the most of it while you can! There’s nothing quite like a beach trip to take your summer to the next level. There are some really incredible beaches in New York that you don’t want to miss. The Hamptons are famous for being a summer refuge for the wealthy, and it’s easy to see why. The beaches there are magnificent. They are full of history and provide excellent opportunities for recreation.
The lighthouse at Montauk was the very first to be constructed in New York, and the first public works project designed under the United States. It is the fourth oldest active lighthouse in the country.
Montauk's name comes from the Montaukett tribe that lived in the area. The area has a rich history in colonial skirmishes with the natives, the Revolutionary War, and even World War II.
It's also a great place to enjoy a walk down the beach. There's nothing like feeling the sand between your toes and the gentle pull of the tide rolling in.
