Seasonal Planters Return to the Boardwalk Today

Sea Cliff, NY · April 19, 2026

Happy Sunday—the sun is hitting the cliffs just right this morning, and if you’re heading down to the boardwalk for an early stroll, you’ll notice the first of the seasonal planters are finally back in place. It’s a small sign, but a sure one, that the village is fully leaning into spring.

📰 The Lead

Preserving the Palisades of the Sound

Sea Cliff’s unique topography is its calling card, but the steep terrain requires constant vigilance. This week, the Village Board shared a significant update on the ongoing cliff stabilization project near the boardwalk. Engineers have completed the primary reinforcement of the retaining walls, a move designed to protect the upper roadways from erosion during the increasingly heavy spring rains.

For residents, this means the temporary fencing near the overlook will likely come down by the end of the month. It’s a quiet victory for local infrastructure—one that ensures our "Village on the Hill" stays exactly where it is. Beyond the safety benefits, the project includes new native plantings that will help anchor the soil while providing a more lush, green backdrop for those sunset walks we all live for.

🏙️ Local Pulse
