She Shared Why The Long-Famed Montauk Is No Longer Worth The Hype, And People Are Weighing In On Why They Agree
Montauk has long been one of the most favored vacation destinations among New Yorkers and other northeastern state residents.
The east-end village is just twenty square miles but has been coveted for its beautiful sands, upscale shopping scene, fresh seafood, and vibrant nightlife.
And countless people– from partners to friend groups to families– flock to the beach town every single year.
Nonetheless, one TikToker named Grace recently went viral after sharing her hot take about the famous seaside spot.
In fact, she believes Montauk is nowhere near worth the hype.
“Something that no one talks about is how Montauk is an actual scam,” Grace began before listing off some outrageous expenses.
For example, a table at Surf Lodge– a local upscale eatery– costs a whopping fifteen thousand dollars.
Grace was also particularly bugged about how a vodka soda– or any other cocktail, for that matter– costs about thirty dollars on average.

“There is no phone service anywhere, and everywhere that serves food closes by like 8:00 p.m. So, good luck if you want to eat,” Grace continued.
And her final complaints concerned the cost of her hotel room– which came out to one thousand dollars per night– and the extremely long bar lines.
“You will wait in an hour and a half line to get into Bounce and Grey Lady,” she said– two popular nightlife scenes among young adults.
And surprisingly, Grace’s TikTok disparaging the classic destination resonated with a lot of New York natives.
The video received four hundred thousand views, over seventeen thousand likes, and spurred eight hundred and forty comments discussing the decline of the hot spot.
“Montauk was awesome in the ’90s and the early 2000s. Now that everyone has discovered it since the Surf Lodge came in 2008, it has gone downhill,” commented one user.
“This is because it used to be cool for us native New Yorkers and surfers before everyone from Williamsburg started invading in 2013,” wrote another user.
“I’m glad people are waking up to this finally,” commented a third.
If you have been to Montauk recently, is it still worth the hype? Or are the Hamptons or Nantucket more suitable locations to get a better bang for your buck?
