Next Friday, Nena turns 30. To celebrate, I've rented a house out on the eastern-most tip of Long Island in the town of Montauk for a few nights next week and weekend.
I've only been to Montauk a few times and never for more than a few hours, so I'm looking for some suggestions for restaurants and things to do beyond enjoy the Atlantic.
Any suggestions? Keep in mind that we'll have the little one with us, so "family friendly" is an important descriptor.
Inlet Seafood, located across from the Montauk dock area on East Lake Drive, has excellent locally caught seafood, including a raw bar. Their burgers and steaks are great, too. Most importantly, they have a small, but constantly changing selection of LI wines and spectacular views from the second story dining room at sunset. When my husband and I go out there, we always make it a point to head to Inlet for dinner at least once, though Gosman's is nice as well.

The Shagwong in the heart of town. A Montauk classic....

Lenn,
How about aharter a boat for a 3-4 hours in later afternoon, fish for either progy or blue fish which is easy to catch, then open a bottle of wine (or 2) and enjoy the sunset. Break out some cheese or fruit and just enjoy.

Also, there is a really neat restaurant next to the Viking Fishing boats. (You can't miss it, there is a giant great white shark hanging near the dock). The best thing is the price and the vintage photos about fishing at Montauk. Try their breakfast which has high QPR values.
