Phantoms on Eastern Long Island? Could this legendary mystery of Montauk be true? The Montauk Walking Dunes might just be the best kept secret of the tourist-riddled east end. These moving dunes, which continue to bulldoze over ancient pine forests (the "phantom" tree tops creep up out of the sand at times), offer visitors both a memorable and meaningful walking tour nearly anyone could do in an hour or two. Our Phantom Forest site is designed to serve as a virtual tour for anyone preparing to visit the area, and additionally, we hope it can function as an educational tool for schools who are within visiting distance or on the other side of the planet.

 
  Enjoy!
