Skip the Crowds at This Summer Getaway in The Hamptons

by Tyler Aposhian, General Manager of Ruschmeyers Hotel

With 5,000 acres of beaches and parks to explore, Montauk has long been a go-to island getaway for nearby New Yorkers seeking an escape from the city hustle. Head to this east coast paradise to experience the natural coastal beauty of the Hamptons, minus the crowds.

Best Beach

Typically I love the waves and enjoy hopping in at Kirk Beach (which is the first beach you hit when you come into town). However, things can get a little too busy there during the summer months. Other options are Ditch Plains Beach, a great place to catch a wave. Camp Hero State Park is great for fishing and wandering around.

Eat, Drink, Repeat

Montauket hotel and seafood restaurant is the spot for watching sunsets all summer long. Tuna melts at The Dock are a must.

Overnighter

I don't think much beats Ruschmeyers on Friday nights. After a sun-filled day at the beach, grab a Ruschmeyers cocktail (fresh watermelon juice, jalapeño and vodka), a hot-buttered lobster roll and sit under the lights in the magic garden. Play some ping pong, take a picture by the campfire and feel like a kid at camp again.

Would you go on a quietcation? One of this year’s biggest travel trends has us seeking out silence—like the kind you’ll find if you’re in Bali on March 19th for Nyepi. For 24 hours, the island goes quiet in celebration of the Hindu New Year, giving residents and guests space to cleanse negative energy, reflect, and welcome in new beginnings.

Sometimes, over-the-top trips look like five-star hotels and private jets. Other times, it looks more like this: taking in the stars while on a guided horseback trek across Mongolia’s wild steppes, deserts, and mountains with pelorusx. What’s more your speed?
