St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church

Reviewed By nancykX5463JV - Montauk, United States

St. Therese of Lisieux Church is a sacred and beautiful place. Fr. Tom Murray is the pastor and leads his parishioners with a beautiful song at the start of each mass, and he has a magnificent voice. More than the songs we sing each day, Fr. Tom feeds us inspiration and teaches us God;s way. The church is just beautiful and you will enjoy going to mass or even a visit.....light a candle, say a prayer, feel the presence of God.

Gin Beach

Reviewed By StephenCr0ss - Dublin, Ireland

This is a great little beach at the eastern end of Lake Montauk. Windy end of the Lake. Follow the road to the airport and keep going. Nice drive. Some of the reviews say it’s a restaurant - I don’t think so but there are restaurants around.

My husband and I visited Shadmoor State Park on a Friday. The parking lot was small but we had no problems finding a space. (Parking was free.) The trail was easy and had beautiful views of the ocean and bluffs.

Liars Saloon

Reviewed By Ralphie220 - Sound Beach, United States

If you like dive bars. This is the one you want to go to. Mostly local clientele. Salty fisherman and bartenders. They don’t really serve food, I think you can get a Ellio’s pizza if you’re hungry and in a pinch. The juke box is cheap, you always meet someone who has a story. I’ve always been treated great. It’s a must stop for me. Oh and although the sweatshirts are expensive they are CAMBER. Warmest! Worth every penny.

Sitting by the lake, which is actually an inlet of block island sound, is one of nature’s great pleasures. The smell of the salty air and the glow of the sun on the water can soothe your soul.
