Montauk Beach House Cabana Lounge Firepits

Even after 10 years as the quintessential East End hotspot, Montauk Beach House retains its coveted position as the chicest place to stay during the summer.

Perfectly perched in the heart of downtown Montauk, the boutique hotel is a mere block away from the area’s most famous surf beaches and its a short stroll to nearby shops, restaurants, bars, and cafés. Guests, however, may not even want to bothering leaving the 33-room destination since it boasts VIP cabanas to kick back in during the day and fire pits to gather around at night.

The property also offers plenty of fun options for activities — pool party anyone? — and delectable eats, including brunch, are always on the menu. Montauk Beach House prides itself on leading the way in supporting local art-driven programs, and renowned Down Syndrome artist Sevy Marie Eicher is set to host a solo show on September 9.

A portion of the proceeds from the event will go towards A Walk On Water, a foundation dedicated to empowering children through the experience of surfing. The Montauk Beach House, 55 South Elmwood Avenue, Montauk.
