What To Wear To The Beach: Catch Sunshine In Style  

Montauk: Definition (mŏn'tôk')

n., pl.,

1. The easternmost census-designated place in New York state.

2. Home of the biggest Great White caught by rod & reel.

3. Known for its mix of Polynesian, Tudor, and Motel Six design. 

4. Andy Warhol and Jackie Kennedy's old beach stomping ground.

Best Natural Sunscreen

Before you hit the ocean waves, lather up with Vive Sana Solar to Polar Ultra, which protects from UVA/UVB rays and is the strongest all natural SPF on the market. Made with ingredients like Titanium Dioxide, Zinc, Organic Soybean and Organic Safflower you know exactly what you are putting on your skin, plus it's non-oily, yet super moisturizing.

Best Sandals For The Beach

While white flip-flops spell disaster in NYC, they are perfect for the streets of Montauk, and I'm a big fan of these kinda odd, but very cool Havaianas.

I love these sandals from Loeffler Randall, the natural cord material makes them a perfect footwear choice to take your outfit from the sand dunes of Montauk to Sunday night dinner in Midtown. 

Best Bikini For The Pool or Beach

The bright colors of this Mara Hoffman swimsuit will bring sunshine to any cloudy beach day. And all the vibrant splashes of blue, red, and yellow can scare off any lingering marine layer. Pack up all your beach goodies and show your love for MTK in this canvas tote bag from Kalani - a cute boutique in the center of town off Montauk Highway

Best Montauk Fragrance

No better way to experience the spirit of old Montauk than by spritzing on Bond No.9 Andy Warhol Montauk. This bold fragrance features a blend of wild bergamot, hyacinth, and honeysuckle, and is known as the world's first sunset perfume.
