1. Recorded Deeds 10.08.26 (easthamptonstar.com) — Recent Montauk real estate deals include a South Debusy Road home selling for $1.72 million and an Ocean View Terrace property changing hands for $10.75 million. The full deed list shows how prices are moving across nearby hamlets too, offering Montauk homeowners and buyers a clear snapshot of today's East End market.
2. The Way It Was for October 8, 2026 (easthamptonstar.com) — Looking back through old East Hampton Star pages, this retrospective recalls Montauk outings, a longtime Railway Express agent who worked in Montauk and East Hampton, and early town budget debates. It also touches on historic development plans, FBI visits to Montauk Airport after 9/11, and how young people once passed time in local parks.
3. Long Island and NYC Fishing Report- October 8, 2026 (onthewater.com) — Anglers around Montauk are seeing the fall run kick in, with albies back in their usual spots, sand eels and bay anchovies thick, and striped bass ranging from schoolies to big fish feeding hard. Local captains report improving action as water temperatures drop, making this a prime weekend to target bass, albies, and upcoming blackfish.
4. Cole Brauer's Newest First: A Book (easthamptonstar.com) — A Springs-raised East Hampton High School alum who once worked restaurant jobs in Montauk has become a record-setting solo sailor and just released her memoir, "First Light." She reflects on blue-collar East End roots, formative local mentors, and how time at sea transformed her life and career.
