Featured Beaches
2 spots
Ditch Plains
IntermediateDitch Plains is Montauk's famed reef break: a rocky bottom produces long peeling A‑frame waves that break both left and right. It's suitable for longboards and funboards and works best on south‑to‑southeast swells with mid to high tides; summer and fall see friendly crowds but locals still hold priority.
Turtle Cove
AdvancedTurtle Cove, tucked in Camp Hero below the Montauk Point Lighthouse, is a rocky cove that only fires on large southeast swells. The wave breaks over boulders, producing powerful slabs and rip currents; only experienced surfers should attempt this spot.
