Montauk Some beach destinations are ideal for doing nothing but enjoying the sand and sea, and Montauk, at the Eastern tip of Long Island, is certainly capable of providing just that. But this lively hamlet located at land's end is also ideal for weekend travelers looking to kick things up a notch with surfing, golfing, hiking and other activities—followed by some serious eating.
