The Montauk Point Lighthouse
I come back to the Montauk Lighthouse time and time again. It’s also a favorite of mine to launch my drone from!

The Crows Nest and South Lake Beach
Another dreamy sunset spot that is Instagram worthy. Not only is the view instagrammable but so is the Crow’s Nest Restaurant.
