Assuming SEPA=Southeastern Pennsylvania and in Audubon Pa then Montauk is due east of you. About 4 hrs away. In New York State on Long Island Here’s a map. It’s the point at the right hand end of the blue line



Not everyone can easily figure out SEPA.
Some will Google it, try to find it on a map (Google Maps).

We live near VFP, what us OLD FOLKS call it,
even after it became VFNP.
VFP doesn't respond well in a Google search.

Since the forum is viewed by people all over the globe, I try to remember to define where for locations.
Saves people from researching.
(Which I'm doing less and less of.)

The Fire Island lighthouse is also a beauty and, having spent many happy summers there, a personal favorite.

Bridges, the Montauk Lighthouse is located on the eastern most point of the south fork on Long Island. Count on the possibility of a more than 5 hour drive especially with summer beach traffic and the dreaded summer traffic through the Hamptons. There are many hotels in Montauk but you’d have to look online to find availability. If it were possible to spend 1 more night there, you might enjoy one of the whale watch or lighthouse cruises that leave from Montauk each day. Enjoy your mini vacation.

Thanks for the return. I will check it out. I though Montauk was a small place with limited accommodations.

Correct. I didn’t state which end. Just the end. I meant the northernmost end (Northeast.) farthest away from NYC


Actually Montauk Point on the SOUTH fork on the far eastern end of LI. The NORTH fork is called Orient Point.

Love to go out there every year for a couple of days. Had dinner at Inlet Seafood and got to watch the blessing of the fleet.

Could you give me a heads up on a place to stay? I have three mini-trips I would like to take this summer, that being one of them. I would only need one night since I live less than 5 hours from there. The other two mini-trips will be to Erie, PA to take in some light houses around the Great Lakes and to Cape May for the Lighthouses there, the salt marshes, and the gingerbread houses. I will only stay one night each place since all are fairly close to home.

Thanks,
Mike

Cross the street and you are on the ocean. Around the block to bakery for the best jelly croissant on earth. Best location with best prices great rooms and property. Check out Camp Hero State Park on your way to the lighthouse.

Very nice!! I like your use of foreground elements. This makes it a totally different view from any of the others I've seen.

This is a beautiful capture of Montauk Light. I don't think anything would be lost from straightening the lighthouse a tad.


Thanks!

Very nice photo! I hope you don't mind if I post this photo I took from my plane back in 1987. Not sharp because I had to shoot through a curved plexiglass window, and this is a copy of the photo I just took with my phone.


Nice!
