The Ultimate Guide to a Summer Weekend in Montauk

Dreaming of a perfect summer weekend by the sea? Look no further than Montauk—a beach town that blends laid-back vibes with natural beauty, great food, and local charm. Whether you’re escaping the city or planning your first East End adventure, here’s how to spend a weekend in Montauk the right way—with Hero Beach Club as your home base.

Friday: Arrival + Sunset

Check in to Hero Beach Club and get settled into your peaceful, coastal-inspired room. Start your weekend by unwinding—either with a walk on the beach just steps from your door or by grabbing a drink and catching the sunset from Hero’s oceanfront lawn.

Dinner Tip: Try The Crow’s Nest for a moody, tucked-away dining experience with great cocktails and even better views.

Saturday: Ocean, Exploration + Wellness

Wake up early for beachfront yoga (Hero’s wellness programming runs June through September) or ease into the day with coffee from Left Hand and a walk along the shore.

Spend your afternoon surfing at Ditch Plains, hiking the trails at Shadmoor State Park, or strolling through the village shops. If you’re craving local seafood, lunch at Duryea’s or a lobster roll from The Dock are musts.

Evening Wind-Down: Head back to Hero, rinse off in your outdoor shower, and unwind by the fire pit under the stars.

Sunday: Slow Morning + Farmers Market Finds

Before heading home, stop by the Montauk Farmers Market (Thursdays and Sundays in summer) to pick up local snacks and small-batch goods. Or take one last walk on the beach with a coffee in hand.

Whether you stay two nights or decide to linger longer, Hero Beach Club makes every moment feel like vacation—because here, the pace is slower, the views are endless, and the weekend never really has to end.
