Museum gems: Whaling tales + George Washington’s signature approval. 2️⃣ Shop & Eat in Town 🛍️ Boutique ceramics + buttery lobster rolls ($25 but worth every bite). Skip mayo-heavy versions! 3️⃣ Beach Therapy 🏖️ State Park’s white sand → barefoot bliss. Seal sightings (if lucky! 🦭) + oceanfront bike paths 🚴♀️. 💡 Blood/Sweat/Tears Tips: Pack: Neck pillow (3hr bus ride!), reef-safe sunscreen, hat. Wear: Light colors for lighthouse photos + water shoes for rocky spots. Timing: June = sunburn risk ☀️; sunset = magic hour. “The lighthouse is a love letter to the Atlantic.” 💌 #MontaukMagic #LongIslandEscape #NYCWeekend #BeachVibes #HiddenGems
