About Us

Montauk’s favorite beachfront restaurant, Navy Beach serves casual coastal cuisine in a laid back, family-friendly setting. Positioned on a 200-foot private beach, the restaurant offers prime seating on the sand and some of the best sunsets in the Hamptons.  Boaters are welcome to anchor in the protected waters of Fort Pond Bay (41° 02′ 45.11″N, -71° 57′ 44.88″W), which was once occupied by the US Navy, and where two Navy piers are still part of the water landscape.

The New American menu features regional coastal favorites with an emphasis on fresh seafood and local produce.  Lunch and dinner are served daily in season and a kids menu for the little ones. Signature dishes include the Sauteed Crab Cake; Fish Tacos with Pico de Gallo and Lime Crema; Miso-Glazed Salmon; Buttermilk Fried Chicken; the Navy Burger with Cabot Cheddar, Onion Bacon Marmalade, House Pickles and Handcut Fries.

An approachable wine list with the majority of selections under $100 offers guests great values including eclectic international selections and choice local wines selected by General Manager Franklin Ferguson, a certified Sommelier. A signature cocktail list along with a selection of domestic and imported beers is also offered.  Live acoustical music is a draw for guests looking for a leisurely and unique experience.

The design of Navy Beach carries a vintage nautical theme throughout the bar and dining room. Sand colored walls, sea colored wall coverings and exposed wood beams set the background for the décor. A 35-foot antique wooden bar anchors the large bar area that is complimented by colorful nautical flags with an inspired message, brass porthole windows and hardwood floors. Nautical blue top tables dot the restaurant while the focal point is the view of the beach and Block Island Sound  through wall-to-wall windows. Banquettes and bistro chairs provide ample seating for guests to enjoy the daytime view and the stunning nightly sunset show. In the dining room, shadow boxes displaying vintage swimsuits and swim caps; classic glamour shots of 1950s bathing beauties; and classic Naval propaganda drawings add splashes of color to the walls.

Frank’s wife, Kristina Davis, acts as Creative Director, while Franklin’s fiancée, Leyla Marchetto handles public relations and marketing.  Frank and Kristina, longtime Wainscott residents, have been coming to the East End for as long as they can remember. Frank, an avid boater, is frequently found fishing in the waters around Montauk, Sag Harbor, and Shelter Island with Kristina and their twin daughters Alexa and Anna. Franklin and Leyla happily joined the Montauk community over three years ago, living just a short distance from the restaurant.
