Fire Island
Hop on the ferry and relax in a rental home on Fire Island. Get as secluded as you want on the beach, or hit up the fun bars and restaurants for nightlife and entertainment. Pro tip – book early so you’re guaranteed to get that rental home or AirBnB.
Glamping
If camping isn’t your thing, maybe glamping is! This might be a more affordable option to head out East instead of renting a house or AirBnB. Here is one site to get you started.
Montauk
There are tons of rental homes, AirBnBs, hotels and more at The End. If you’re headed there in the summer, there are tons of bars, clubs and restaurants to hang out at if that’s what you’re into. If you’re looking for a beach getaway, this is your spot as well. And of course, there’s day spas and a salt cave for some relaxation. If adventure is more your speed, check out the lighthouse or hike some trails.
The East Wind Spa Resort
Check out the Inn & Spa at BOLI Preferred Vendor East Wind for deals on overnight stays and some spa treatments. There are always tons of packages here, and sometimes includes a trip to a winery.
The Garden City Hotel
Splurge a little and book a room or two at this posh hotel. It’s an Uber drive away from the bars and restaurants in Garden City to please any appetite.
The Hamptons
Just before you hit Montauk, you’ll need to hit the Hamptons. Just like Montauk, there are tons of rentals and AirBnBs to hit any price range.
PARTY IDEAS
Brew Crew Cycles
If beer is more your thing, book a tour with Brew Crew Cycles for your own crew. Pedal around outside with your friends while sipping beer and stopping at some of Long Island’s craft breweries.
Draw a Naked Model
Hear me out! The Artful Bachelorette is in New York City, but worth the trip. They also offer the option to host a party at your house. And yes, you get to draw a naked man! It’s a classy party, with an instructor to help guide your drawing skills.
Get Crafty
Different from a paint party, grab a hammer and a tool belt and get crafty. Places like Board & Brush or AR Workshop offer DIY wood workshops for you and your crew AND provide the supplies.
