Bounce Beach MTK

Bounce Beach Montauk has something for everyone. For the brunchies out there, Bounce Beach has the most delicious dishes to share-but order the Shakshuka for yourself! At this new hotspot, you can go from day to night, eat at their beachside restaurant, and party at the bar. They even have a kids menu! Pack your beach tote and head to Bounce Beach Montauk for a fun day filled with sand, sun, and savory food and drinks!

Rita Cantina

Rita Cantina just opened and is already the place to go. This modern Mexican East Hampton restaurant is a new and welcomed addition to our Hampton hotspots. Their homemade salsa and taco selections are to die for, and it wouldn’t be on our list if there wasn’t a super cute seating set up!

The Rams Head Inn

The Rams Head Inn is an “iconic Shelter Island Waterfront Destination,” and we can’t disagree! With a new remodel, this waterside restaurant and inn can host you for a weekend, cater to your beauty and spa needs, and even checks the box for wellness-including seaside yoga and herbal concoctions. Stay here for the weekend or just for the day, The Rams Head Inn offers a day pass with access to all of their charms-fitness classes, spa services, beachside drinks and food, and even a luxury picnic!

The Montauk Beach House

The Montauk Beach House is technically a 33-room boutique hotel, but it is so much more. The Montauk Beach House is a fun and lively environment with an outdoor bar scene. They offer events all throughout the summer, including sunrise yoga by the pool and from July 2–7th, a VolvoXLabs / Comita + Lee NFT gallery show and reception.
