Anyone thinking of heading Long Island way, and especially Montauk, might want to re-think their plans. The State and Suffolk County just closed a bunch of beaches due to finding 'skeeters that were carrying a particularly virulent strain of encephalitis---one that has a 35%+ mortality rate
Montauk is closed from dusk to dawn, including Shagwong and Gin Beach. Some other parks, too. Call ahead if you're heading this way.
