With 6 National Parks, the ‘End of the World’ has plenty to explore and do. From surfing to lighthouse hunting, Montauk defines coastal living. We did quite a bit of beach hiking and seashell collecting.

The short rib taco was in my belly at least once a day. We were able to enjoy live music and watch Bailey dance around several nights on the town green and of course get an ice cream cone after. The little shoppes are full of the perfect gifts to take home. In the center you can catch a game of mini golf or book your deep sea fishing adventure.

We would pick up a huge watermelon or fresh fruit daily to have on the beach. Bailey loved petting the little ducklings that were born that year. Vicki’s is the most iconic farm stand on your way to the beach.

Don’t leave vacation in Montauk without heading down to Navy Beach just before sunset. Waiting for a table is no problem with rocks to skip and views like this. These photos are not edited, one of the most amazing colorful sunsets I have ever seen. Here you can order fun cocktails or fresh seafood as the sun goes down.

Beach bonfires and oversized hoodies underneath the stars are what childhood memories are made of for Bailey. Extra chocolate please!

Island Hopping on the way home to Connecticut was actually one of my favorite days. We beat the traffic and took the Cross Sound Ferry. Along the way we hit several islands including Shelter Island. For lunch we stopped at Claudio’s Clam Shack where Bailey tried clams for the first time. As soon as we docked in New London, we got back in the car and drove right on home.
