Dream Towns: Montauk, New York

Montauk, New York

This town of about 4,000 people sits like a shingled island among the protected forest, rolling grasslands, and foamy breakers tumbling in from the Atlantic. It’s a refreshing cocoon of preserved land. (Sixty-five percent of the town is protected in a preservation fund.) The community is driven by entrepreneurs, savvy business people, and conservationists—all dedicated to preserving Montauk.
