The Route: MacArthur Airport to Montauk
The drive from Long Island MacArthur Airport to Montauk covers roughly 65 miles and takes 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes under normal traffic conditions. This is by far the fastest way to reach "The End" from any commercial airport.
The route heads east on Sunrise Highway (Route 27), passing through the Hamptons villages before the road becomes Montauk Highway. The final stretch through Napeague and into Montauk offers stunning ocean views. Unlike transfers from JFK or LaGuardia, you skip all New York City traffic.
Traffic reality: Summer Friday afternoons can add 30-45 minutes to the drive as traffic builds heading east. However, this is still far better than the 4+ hour delays common on JFK transfers during peak summer weekends. Our drivers know the local back roads and scenic alternatives.

Ditch Plains is one of the East Coast's premier surf spots, drawing wave-riders from around the world. The fishing is legendary too, with charter boats heading out for tuna, striped bass, and shark.
Flying into MacArthur means your Montauk vacation starts 2 hours sooner than if you flew into JFK. That's 2 more hours of beach time, 2 more hours of fishing, or 2 more lobster rolls at The Dock.
