Montauk Point State Park is located in the hamlet of Montauk, and its 862 acres include most of the eastern tip of Long Island. When the sea is calm, it is possible to see the converging tides from the Block Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.

The park is covered in dense stands of trees, scrubland, and wetland ponds, which provide home to many species of birds and mammals. As you go down from the steep bluffs, the landscape changes to sandy and rocky beach. The park is world famous as the site for whale watching and launching deep sea fishing trips, since Long Island thrusts into the sea for more than 100 miles. The park is also home to the historic 1792 Montauk Point Lighthouse, one of the oldest in the country and the best place from which to see the entire park.
