A Guide To Montauk's "Hampsters," The Fedora Rating Scale

4 of 14

Montauk Beaches: KIRK PARK BEACH:

#KIRK PARK ON INSTAGRAM= 38 PHOTOS

Located right before Montauk town, this little beach is so central to town there's no way it could be exclusive, even though it is tucked away a bit from the Main Street. Generally not a high traffic spot, this sleepy beach is located next to the IGA, which no hampster would never be caught grabbing a sandwich from. Note: the Becheesy food truck is often stationed here, giving us good reason to believe their fedora hat rating could very well go up in the coming seasons.

Rating: 1 Fedora. A half a fedora for the Becheesy truck and half a fedora for the fact that no one really knows about this spot.

Sorry, but wasn't it the brilliant booksellers at BookHampton that baptized the great unwashed "Hampsters?" According to the New Yorker and the Village Voice it was. [blogs.villagevoice.com]

The gig shack is not owned by locals. The people who own it lived in NYC and had a house out here. SO they are NOT LOCALS!!!!! None of them were born and raised out here year round. Check your facts. This is just one of the many false statements that I have read on this craptastic site!
