Beautiful in the mornings! Not very crowded and mainly friendly locals out on the water. Catch a lesson with Coreyswave if you'd like to learn. Surf is consistently good for beginners in the summer. IMPORTANT: If you're visiting, none of the lots are open to cars without an East Hampton beach parking permit. I parked in the free lot at Shadmoor State Park and took the 20 min walk to Ditch. Phenomenal way to start the day with a clear mind!

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.
