Navy Beach in Montauk welcomes in its 16th season on Friday, April 25, at 5 PM. The beachfront restaurant located on a 200-foot stretch of private beach on the idyllic Fort Pond Bay, offers beachfront outdoor dining as well as indoor dining.
Navy Beach will roll out many new menu items this season, including Shrimp Tempura Hand Rolls, Tuna Crudo Lettuce Wraps, Mussels “Scampi-Style,” Everything Bagel Crusted Salmon, and a throwback from years ago — the classic Bucatini Pomodoro, where added Lobster Tail is optional. In addition, two new vegetarian sides — Roasted Cauliflower with Whipped Tofu and Chimichurri, and Asparagus with a Miso Aioli and Toasted Sesame join the roster alongside old favorites including the Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Navy Burger, the Dry-Aged Ribeye, Buddha Bowl, and the Soy Glazed Halibut.
On the beverage front, the restaurant will be adding several spirit-free and low ABV selections to the list, including ones from Aplós, Wölffer, and Montauk Brew Co. Favorite libations, including the Loaded Paloma and Pick Me Up, will return alongside several new summer-ready cocktails like the Misty Mule and Grapefruit Coast G+T, available as individual cocktails or large-format pitchers for larger groups.
Get ready to shop the Navy Beach lifestyle. Just in time for graduation and Father’s Day gifting, the restaurant’s new Navy Beach Shop will launch online in late May, with two new collections of merchandise available via the restaurant’s website. Select new brand apparel and accessories, and limited quantities of Navy SEAL Foundation items will only be available on-site in Montauk at the restaurant throughout the remainder of the season.
Live entertainment is returning at Navy Beach starting on May 24, with a rotating lineup of DJs on Memorial Day Weekend and the weekends of June 21 through Labor Day Weekend, as well as Rum Punch Mafia Band and Bobby Murray. In mid-July, the restaurant will relaunch the Riviera Weekend with DJs, vintage Riviera-inspired attire, summer retail, flowing rosé, and French Riviera-inspired cocktails on July 12 and 13. As always, boaters are encouraged to join in the weekend’s festivities. View the full calendar, including live music dates and times, online here. Yachting clientele will also be happy to hear that the beachfront restaurant’s popular “Torpedo” service will return, offering a launch on weekends. As the “Torpedo” operates weather permitting, phoning in advance to confirm launch availability is recommended.
Navy Beach will expand its longstanding support of the Navy SEAL Foundation, focusing on fundraising for the organization’s Children’s Summer Camps, specifically designed for children of the SEAL community. These camps provide a unique opportunity for kids to connect with peers who understand the challenges of having a parent deployed or away for training. The program includes a variety of experiences, from traditional summer camp activities to specialized teen camps that emphasize leadership development. Through adventure, teamwork, and mentorship, these camps create a supportive environment where children can build confidence, resilience, and lasting friendships. Each summer, NSF sends approximately 1,000 children to camp, providing them with unforgettable experiences and lifelong memories for children of Active Duty and Gold Star Families.
The restaurant’s 13th annual dine + donate program continues from Memorial Day through Labor Day, plus online awareness and fundraising, and an event in late July. Since beginning to fundraise for the organization in 2013, the restaurant has raised over $200,000 for the Navy SEAL Foundation. The restaurant’s local philanthropic efforts continue with its fifth annual local East Hampton High School scholarship program, awarding four $500 scholarships to four Class of 2025 EHHS graduates.
Navy Beach will be open Friday evenings to Sunday through mid-May, aside from private events. The annual Mother’s Day Prix-Fixe and Father’s Day ‘Brew for Dad’ specials will return on Sundays, May 11 and June 15. Thursday dinner service begins May 22, while Monday lunch and dinner service begins May 27. The restaurant will be open seven days a week for lunch and dinner starting June 13 through Labor Day, aside from private events.
