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 VF
NP.
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.

Now if I didn't have to go look up where Fire Island is located...

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.

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.
An exceptional iconic shot ⭐⭐⭐

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,
