Village Board Finalizes Summer Beach Access Rules Tonight

Sea Cliff, NY · May 6, 2026

Happy Wednesday—keep an umbrella handy for that afternoon drizzle, and if you're heading toward the water, the new stairs at the beach are officially open for the season.

📰 The Lead

Tonight’s Village Board meeting at 7:00 PM is more than just a routine session; it’s the final roadmap for our summer at the beach. On the agenda is the approval of the 2026 seasonal staffing plan and a review of the updated guest pass policy. After last year’s congestion, the board is considering a digital-first permit system to streamline entry at the gate. We’re also expecting an update on the cliff stabilization project near the boardwalk, which has seen significant progress over the winter. For residents, this is the time to voice concerns about parking and pavilion rentals before the Memorial Day rush. Whether you’re a daily swimmer or just enjoy the Friday night music series, tonight’s decisions will shape how we spend our July afternoons.
