Long Island is home to at least 120 bird species, and a resting place for hundreds of migratory birds. Because of its strategic viewing location along the oceanfront, Montauk is now a favorite vacation spot for bird watchers. Many of them book at Montauk hotels near the Montauk Point State Park; as these hotels provide easy access to the Atlantic Flyway, where the migratory birds stop to rest every year. Bird watchers will surely delight in the ospreys, bald eagles, ducks, geese, and songbirds, which are frequent visitors, as well as in some rare bird species that make their appearance once in a while. Catch sea birds such as Corys Shearwaters, Black-Legged Kittiwakes, Greater Shearwaters, Northern Fulmars, Audubons Shearwaters, Manx Shearwaters, and Wilsons Storm-Petrels during migrating season while enjoying views of the Atlantic Ocean. There are several dining establishments in the vicinity of the Montauk Point Lighthouse that provide fantastic views of these birds. A good time to go bird-watching is during fall and winter.

Guests who are staying at Montauk hotels can also join star gazing parties with other astronomy aficionados held at the Theodore Roosevelt County Park.
