Up on a hill, overlooking the rocky coastline of Long Island's easternmost point, this museum boasts a bevy of artifacts and a great view. Commissioned by Congress under George Washington in 1792 and completed in 1796, the first lighthouse in New York State has old exhibits of historical documents and the lonely life of a lighthouse keeper. There's also a 110-foot tower that you can climb for a stunning view of the ocean, the coastline, and the dense scrub lining the road from the town of Montauk.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
