Fourth of July in Montauk: A Long Weekend at the Edge of It All

Your Guide from Montauk Yacht Club

When it comes to the Fourth of July, few places capture the spirit of summer quite like Montauk. Here at Montauk Yacht Club, the long weekend unfolds in rhythm with the coast—think sun-drenched afternoons, live music by the water, and evenings that stretch out beneath salt-kissed skies. Whether you’re here for the full four days or just in time for fireworks, here’s how to make the most of your time on the East End.

Ease Into It-Poolside

Start your weekend in true Montauk fashion: stretched out by the pool with a drink in hand. We’re kicking off the holiday with DJ sets and laid-back live music—curated for unhurried afternoons and golden-hour dips.

Live Music with a View

On Thursday, the David Higgins Band takes the stage, blending beachy soul with high-energy crowd favorites. Whether you’re sipping rosé or dancing barefoot, it’s the kind of night you’ll want to linger in.

Make It a Wellness Weekend

Balance out the revelry with a little restoration. Book a treatment at our floating Wellness Cabana Spa, or move through morning sun salutations with one of our yoga sessions. Our newly expanded fitness center and courts (including Montauk’s only padel court) are open daily for your movement fix.

Hit the Water

This time of year, there’s no better view of the coastline than from the water. Reserve an X Shore electric boat for a sunset cruise, or head out on a stand-up paddle board for something more active.

Explore Montauk Like a Local

Take a quick trip into town for classic lobster rolls, boutique shopping, and quiet beach strolls before the fireworks begin. We’re always happy to point you toward our favorite hidden gems.

End on a High Note

As the weekend winds down, we invite you to slow your pace—not your pleasure. Enjoy a slow brunch at Ocean Club, sip your coffee on your private balcony, or simply do nothing at all. That’s part of the point in Montauk’s relaxation and recreational allures.
