Just watched “No Hard Feelings” and wanted to look 👀 up this town. Looks really nice!

[@PaulBalzano]

Thanks for your comments. It really is nice, and worth the trip for sure!

We go every year in early Fall when the crowds are gone. Walking the Lighthouse bluff and then eating seafood somewhere out there has been a fun tradition.

[@PaulBalzano]

Thanks for your comments. I agree Fall is also a great time to be in Montauk.

Great video Paul. Our family has had a house at Ditch Plains Beach since 1982. I was a lifeguard in Montauk the Summer of 83. I play piano and I filmed some of my videos from our deck with an ocean view. My recently departed father Robert loved Montauk so much that he wrote a song called "Montauk" which 2 musician friends of mine covered. The Montauk Library did an article about my father Robert for Throwback Thursday called The Fisherman. I put these links in my video descriptions since he passed away January 2023. 🎹 👍

In 2002 I worked and lived in Montauk for the nature conservancy, small chill town, girls weren't feeling getting hit on , lol

Thank you for this video! I love Montauk I've been visiting there for over 40 years. Sadly I missed this year but this video took me back.

Thank you Nadine for your comments. It’s not too late to visit.

You reminded me about how great Montauk is and that I need to get back out there. Thanks for the great coverage.

[@PaulBalzano]

Brian, Thanks for your comments. Yea, it’s a great place to visit with lots to do and enjoy.

[@josephgallace5615]

Perfection!!! I've searched for years for insider travel guides like this. well played as all your seggestions are spot on and incorporate a whole day and night itenerary. Nightlife and day parties are important to some but overlooked, you nailed it, salute'. Can't wait to watch your other vids and keep up the good work. Hoping you'll visit more spots up and down the east coast weather it's in car from here(LI) or hop in a plane for a destination.

Hi Joseph, Thanks for your comments and kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for your comments Amy. I’m doing well and hope the same for you too!!

I grew up on the island and we’d go to Montauk several times a year. My favorite time is September, October. The weather is perfect and the tourists are long gone. Happy hour snd dinner at The Shagwong is a must.

Thanks for your comments. I agree that early fall is a great time to visit with the crowds gone.

I love Montauk. We moved there in 1971 when I was 16. Bounce Beach was then called the Pirates Den - my go to beach as a teenager. If you ever do a Part 2 video, would suggest including the views of L.I. Sound from atop Fort Port Bay area, Shepherd's Neck, Montauk Manor, and Deep Hollow Ranch. Great video - thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for leaving a comment, and suggestions for version two.

Unfortunately the club scene in Montauk has changed the low key, family ambiance of earlier years. It’s become over crowded and overpriced. I miss the old Montauk.

[@PaulBalzano]

Yea, it’s not the same as it once was, but still a great place.

[@SF-ce1qn]

Great video. Just visited this area for the first time, unfortunately it’s cost prohibitive for the middle class For the less fortunate- Bring your own food and drink and then you can thoroughly enjoy your visit. Just a real comment not a criticism.

[@PaulBalzano]

Thanks for sharing your comments. Bringing your own food and drinks can certainly make it more enjoyable, and at times, I have done the same.

[@treeguyable]

Looks great , but... here in N.C. wayyy less people, had a beach to ourselves, mid July, no one for a mile in either direction. Just sayin.

[@PaulBalzano]

Thanks, sounds nice. Yea, Montauk is a VERY popular place, especially in the summer (and for good reason).

[@friendoftellus5741]

There is sharks in those waters in the summertime...

[@PaulBalzano]

Nah, ya just gotta jump in without fear.

@@PaulBalzano hey- do you have any other recommendations for a nice place to stay for a family of 5 that isn’t 3k a night ? 🥺

[@PaulBalzano]

@@louern123 if you want to be on the beach, Gurneys is the most expensive but a very nice resort. Probably not practical for a family as you’ll need multiple rooms. I suggest you check out the Royal Atlantic Beach Condos or the Surf Club Condos both right on the beach. If looking for something less expensive and off the water try the Montauk Manor. Book early for the summer.

Montauk is a beautiful beach and harbor but I was told " Do Not Go Swimming at Montauk Beach, due to the wild animals Swimming the surf's edge.

[@PaulBalzano]

Hi Dennis. Thanks for your comments. I’ve been going to Montauk for many years and always swim in the ocean there. I can assure you there’s no threat of wild animals that would hurt you. Go and enjoy the beautiful beaches and ocean.

SHAME ON ME BEING A NEW YORKER I NEVER KNEW HOW HUGE LONG ISLAND IS FROM BELMONT TO MONTAUK IS A TWO HOUR DRIVE THAT'S INSANE.

[@PaulBalzano]

It’s actually a beautiful ride out there. Will take longer than two hours though but certainly worth the trip.

[@veronicaroach3667]

I live in NJ & I've spent way too many hours sitting in traffic when I had to go to any place on that island, to ever get interested in going further on it than absolutely necessary. Now I did read there is a ferry service from Connecticut, so maybe that's the best idea if you don't want to have to go via Brooklyn & traffic for miles & miles ? There are other beautiful places South of Long island I'm told, not as far to go - my daughter & friends used to rent a cottage there each summer - an island without cars - Fire Island I believe it was called. They said it was wonderful.

[@renenavarro3463]

This is the end of long Island

[@PaulBalzano]

Yes, indeed!

[@Killemgrillem00]

Ps ...Collecting rocks and taking them off the beach is illegal.
