Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Montauk Lighthouse (New York) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Montauk Lighthouse (New York) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Montauk Lighthouse for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

Was delightful and beautiful . It's breathtaking. I'd definitely wear some shoes with a good grip if you would like to explore.was a bit foggy on this particular morning. Was hoping to catch the sunrise, but I still enjoyed every second spent there . Can't wait to take another trip up there . Also, I have yet to get a closer look at the lighthouse . On my to-do list for my next visit to Montauk point !

Magnificent experience. Best time to visit is in the evening. Make sure to observe park timing. Tower collides closes at 5 on weekday and 6 on weekends. There is parking is restricted rooms at the tower whereas many hotels and refreshments during the way. The route is full of beautiful and mesmerizing views.

Be sure to check out the rocky beach. Proper footwear is recommended, however, as it can be a bit challenging to walk on the rocks. This area is also a surfer's paradise, if that's your jam. Overall, a very nice and relaxing experience!!

We visited the lighthouse and were very impressed by the beautiful views. You can climb the lighthouse, and there is also a museum. The museum has a fascinating exhibit featuring all the lighthouses on the coast. You can light them up and see how they look. There is also an interactive map. Highly recommend visiting the museum to everyone.

The farthest point of New York State is a park that will be interesting for people who love history, fishing, and hiking. You can also spend a couple of days camping, with the same daily price for public parking and camping. The area has a wild beach with round-shaped rocks. You might even find fossils if you know how to look for them. The park is a great and fun destination for families and adults.
