The Parks of Montauk

Over the years various agencies and private groups have worked together to protect and preserve the open and historical sites located in and around Montauk. Here are links to other places of interest in the area.

  • Web Link Montauk Point State Park

    On the eastern tip of the South Shore of Long Island, Montauk Point State, offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean where it meets the Block Island Sound. The view is unique, because, when the water is calm, visitors can clearly see the "race" of converging tides from the Atlantic and Block Island Sound. Visitors can also use the nature trails to hike or cross-country ski, or spend time watching the seals sun on the rocks offshore. Block Island can be seen off in the distance.
