The long-awaited Fire Island to Montauk Point reformulation project, a coastal restoration and protection effort covering 83 miles of shoreline between Fire Island and Montauk Point, is set to begin this fall, with downtown Montauk to see the bolstering of its Atlantic Ocean beach with 450,000 cubic yards of sand dredged and pumped from an offshore site on Napeague during the winter or early spring. 

Heading east? You'll have your choice of activities in Montauk from the Montauk Chamber of Commerce’s Fall Festival to an open house at the firehouse and two days of extra fun at the Montauk Lighthouse.

This weekend brings Amagansett Maritime Heritage Day, the annual Tyler Valcich Memorial Car Show, and Pet Sunday at St. Michael's.
