No Hassles
You should shop local. Unless you are not from Montauk. Then you should shop from afar at some of our favorite Montauk businesses. We’ve got you covered, starting from the top and making stops along the way to go deep with sharks, having a damn fine cup of joe, popping in for a drink with the locals at The Dock and getting suited up in some guaranteed fresh Whalebone gear.

Swim with Sharks
Sea Turtle Charters
“You go in the cage, cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark’s in the water, our shark.” Quint’s misgivings about looking like an astronaut aside, surely the safest way to get close to some toothy tourists.
It’s not just sharks that are brought into the local waters by the warm Gulf Stream: whales, ocean sunfish, porpoise and sea turtles might also go swimming by on a shark trip. Dive gear is included on these full-day excursions that run from June to October.

Heavy Reading
The Dock Book
Northeast fishing villages all have their local watering holes; fortunately for those of us who live in Montauk, we have The Dock. This small dark tavern embodies Montauk. The Dock is a safe haven; an escape from the rapidly changing world around us.
“This photography book is my attempt at capturing that slice of Montauk culture by focusing on the visual ephemera, of the many curious and the stories they tell,” says photographer Grant Monahan, “all found on the walls and shelves of The Dock.”

No Lost Shakers
The 8th Drifter
You could be half-assed and drink your tequila with a pinch of salt from Jimmy Buffet’s lost shaker or you can use your whole ass with a shot glass made out of salt. Stuff somebody’s stocking with these particular ones, ethically produced from Himalayan salt caves in Pakistan, and you’re really putting extra ass into it.

East End Fish Prints
Annie Sessler
Fish caught by net, rod-n-reel, trap, and spear regularly get detoured into Montauk artist Annie Sessler’s hands before being prepped and shared as a meal. Annie transforms actual sea life into captivating wall art using brushes, inks, and fabrics while paying homage to the Japanese Gyotaku craft tradition.

Sketch Energy Be-Gone
Sacred Space Revolution
There are times you can’t light up a smudge stick or sage or whatever voodoo you’re into. Vibe Protection spray is a smokeless alternative to cleansing stuck or negative energies. So this gift might look like an ordinary spray bottle but you’re really giving a purified spirit with crystal-infused spray. Cedarwood and lavender provide relaxation while herbs like sage and palo santo protect and cleanse.
