Our Story

Over a Decade of Getting Salty

Beginnings

Montauk, Long Island first introduced Salt Therapy in 2014 when original founder, Shannon Coppola was searching for a remedy for her son who suffered from severe allergies.

Salt therapy is known to have respiratory healing benefits, but the closest salt cave at that time was in New Jersey. After having a positive experience, Shannon opened the first Long Island salt cave in Montauk.

People came from all over Long Island and surrounding areas to breathe the salty air and later in 2014 the Montauk Salt Cave in Huntington,Long Island opened its doors.

The Cave Today

For over 10 years the Montauk Salt Cave in Huntington continues to proudly offer a range of services from Standard Salt Therapy Sessions to Healer-Led Sessions, to Private Spa Treatments.

The Montauk Salt Cave in Huntington remains open as the only Montauk Salt Cave location in New York.

About The Himalayan Salt

The cave at Montauk Salt Cave West features 13 tons of pure Himalayan Salt from Pakistan, all of which is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and super absorbent!

Inside the cave, you are fully surrounded by the salt—the wall in block form and the floor in pebble "sand" form.

Grinding the Salt

We have a special generator, called a Halogenerator, that grinds the Himalayan Salt into tiny, ionized particles and disperses it into the air you breathe, while in the cave. This is a unique, natural therapy called Halotherapy.

Healing Properties

The salt particles naturally start absorbing allergens, toxins, and foreign substances—reducing inflammation and opening airway passages.

By simply breathing in the infused salty air, you are taking in all the benefits of Halotherapy; of which can include healing allergies, asthma, inflammation, the common cold, anxiety, sleeplessness, cell rejuvenation, skin conditions, and more.

Inside the Cave

The temperature of the cave is set at 70 degrees to maintain the efficacy of the salt and provide maximum comfort.

Aside from the benefits of Halotherapy, the cave features dimmed lights, meditation music, and blankets for a wonderful relaxing experience.
