I went to see the lighthouse in the snow and even though it was closed, it looked magical. The little restaurant off to the side was still open for coffee, etc and the majestic view made the extra miles worth it.In August, we took our wedding party to visit the lighthouse and walk through the museum and everyone had a wonderful time. The view is spectacular and the charm and history make it a special day trip!
I loved the rock climbing around the lighthouse, fantastic views, interesting history and a lovely walk.
Montauk is amazing, and if you're bored, the lighthouse is a nice little trip. Either way, Montauk is heavenly!
definitely worth the 10 minute drive. There is actually a lot to do around the area if you like to hike and explore.
I was out on Long Island for work for a month and decided to take a day off and drive out to Montauk and explore the eastern tip of the island. I was disappointed to find that the lighthouse charges for parking and again for access. While I understand the need for maintenance and programs, I found the price to be way too steep at over $30 for parking and admission. In my opinion, skip the lighthouse and walk down to the beach on either side. You can skirt along the walkway outside the lighthouse fence and still get a great view.
This park is so beautiful at anytime of the year. Sunrise is stunning. It was very cold on the day of our visit (3deg F) so we did not stay long - still a stunning view.
Took a couple hours to make the trek out to the lighthouse, but worth it. Super pretty views, small gift shop, tons of parking, good strolling area for people. There's plenty of small towns around for shopping and sightseeing.
Even though I visited the lighthouse on winter, while it was snowing,I can say that is worth the trip to the end of the island.
The areas at the base of the lighthouse had lots of educational historical informational informational and artifacts on display. The trek to the top of the lighthouse on the narrow stairwel can be physically challenging to some visitors. The line for this can be long and extend all the way outside the building where it can be very hot. The view at the top is epic and it can be very refreshing and windy.
Hired a airport car service Long Island for travel from LaGuardia airport to Montauk Light House. The car service was pre-arranged through online booking. Me and my family was well accommodated in the car. The chauffeur was proved as excellent tour guide though and he took us straight to the Montauk Point Light House. We spend the whole day there and enjoyed the scenario. It's truly a great place to enjoy our vacation. Later the chauffeur took us to Long Island at my cousins house.
