No day trips out to Montauk would be complete without at least one night in this iconic (and rather massive) respite at the end of the world. Following a multimillion-dollar renovation, Gurney’s is back in action with stunning guest rooms, noteworthy dining and drinking (from the well-respected LDV Hospitality), and a private oceanfront that’s fit for even the most discerning beach bum. You've also got Hither Hills State Park and a great golf course a small drive away. We think you'll like it here.
Let us paint a picture of the best hotels on the beach near NYC: crashing waves, rosé aplenty, and the absence of thunderous garbage trucks at 7am. Sounds pretty neat, right? Sure it does. So here's what to do: escape the city and take advantage of the amazing neighboring beaches for some serious R&R. And while New York isn’t exactly known as a beach town by default, these coastal hotels are an essential reminder of the seasonal beauty that awaits us all during the summer months and beyond.
