“My favorite place is the beach at Hither Hills State Park in Montauk. With no shoreline development in sight and nothing but sand dunes behind you, it’s easy to separate yourself from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the ocean.”

Favorite Place
Every summer of my childhood my parents took my brothers and I to camp on the beach in Hither Hills State Park in Montauk. Today, I make every effort to repeat the tradition with my wife, children and family. Personally, it’s where I learned to swim, developed an appreciation for the ocean, and proposed to my wife. For my family, it’s a place for us to get away and celebrate the beach environment and the joys that come with it. From the sunrise and the quiet of the morning, to the sounds of the waves and the darkness in the night sky, the peaceful, unspoiled landscape is a special place.
