Offshore Montauk

The Sands Motel opened on South Emery Street in Montauk in 1952 and operated for seventy-three years before Marley Dominguez bought it, spent $23.5 million transforming it, and reopened it as Offshore in June 2025. Forty-three rooms with ocean views, private balconies, marble countertops, copper-glazed lighting, and rainwater showers. An outdoor pool steps from the rooms. A sauna and cold plunge at the Offline Spa across the street. The beach is directly opposite the entrance — Kirk Park Beach, the stretch of Atlantic that runs from downtown Montauk toward Ditch Plains. The Surf Lodge is next door; between the two properties, the block has become the design anchor of Montauk's main strip. Offshore doesn't carry the Surf Lodge's live music and seasonal programme — it's quieter, more year-round, more considered in its register. For the block it shares, that's the right call.
