Nature Preserve Beach is a quiet, hidden sandy beach that looks out to Lake Montauk. Nature Preserve Beach is a wonderful spot to enjoy a sunny day picnic, to harvest clams, to go for a dip in the Lake, or enjoy Montauk’s incredible diversity of birds. There are no lifeguards on site, so swimming is at your own risk, and East Hampton town parking permits are needed to park here.
