Montauk
Long Island's end
Montauk is a hamlet at the eastern tip of Long Island, New York, known for its beaches, lighthouse, and fishing.
The name comes from the Montaukett people, the indigenous inhabitants of the area.
Montauk functions as a summer destination and has appeared in popular culture as a setting suggesting isolation or coastal mystery: We rented a place out in Montauk for the week.
