The Surf Lodge
Iconic Montauk lakefront hotel and restaurant known for live concerts, sunset cocktails and a buzzy summer scene.
The Surf Lodge is a 22-room boutique on Fort Pond with one of the most-Instagrammed restaurant decks on the East End. Live music nearly every summer weekend, a respected kitchen, and walking distance to downtown Montauk and the LIRR train. Rooms are compact and design-driven; the property is best understood as a restaurant and music venue first, hotel second — light sleepers should request rooms away from the deck. Wölffer Estate and Channing Daughters are 30–40 minutes west for a tasting day.

Rooms
The Surf Lodge lists 20 waterfront guest rooms and suites on Fort Pond, including Standard King, Junior Suite and Grand Suite categories. The property's own site advertises the Standard King starting at $600 per night.
Season
The hotel's site states it operates from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, so it is not a year-round stay — travelers planning shoulder-season trips should check directly before counting on a room.
What the property is built around
The Surf Lodge markets itself first around music, restaurant and beach-and-deck programming, with the hotel presented as one of four equal pillars alongside Restaurant, Music and Beach & Deck — consistent with its reputation as a scene-driven property rather than a quiet retreat.
Suite categories
Beyond the Standard King, the property's own site lists a Junior Suite (two queen beds, en-suite bath, private deck) starting at $800 per night, and a Grand Suite — a two-bedroom layout with a king and a full bed, each with an en-suite bath, plus a living room, kitchenette and large private deck over Fort Pond — starting at $1,250 per night.
Dining and shop
The hotel's restaurant space is described on its own site as making stylish use of light and natural materials and textures nodding to historic European design, sun-soaked seaside villages and the local surfing community. A boutique on site sells beach essentials, tees, hats and periodic brand collaborations, open daily during the season.
