Coast Guard Station Montauk

Coast Guard Station Montauk is a maritime safety facility on Star Island Road that serves as an operational center for search and rescue missions along eastern Long Island. The station monitors waters and responds to emergencies in the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding bays.

The station was established in 1955 following a relocation from Napeague Bay to consolidate Coast Guard activities at Long Island's eastern tip. This move strengthened the service's presence in the region and improved emergency response capabilities.

Station personnel conduct educational programs with local organizations to promote maritime safety awareness and emergency preparedness throughout the community.

Visitors can reach the station by phone at (631) 668-2773 if they need information or assistance. The facility maintains round-the-clock service and can provide support for emergencies on the water.

The station's personnel housing was dedicated in 2005 to Nathan B. Bruckenthal, the first Coast Guard member lost in service since the Vietnam War. This tribute honors his memory and marks a significant moment in the facility's history.
