Another Round!  Brush off the sand, throw on a shirt and follow the In crowd to The Surf Lodge (183 Edgemere St., Montauk, 631.668.1562) to nosh on superstar chef Sam Talbot’s local fare while basking in the stunning lakeside sunsets.

Hosts with a sweet tooth will devour Levain Bakery’s (354 Montauk Highway, Wainscott, 631.537.8570) mouthwatering, hockey-puck-size cookies. Even their kids will thank you.    4.
