Library Seed Exchange Launches Today
Sea Cliff, NY · May 7, 2026
Happy Thursday — keep the umbrella close if you're heading down to the boardwalk, but the rain is perfect timing for the new seed library.
The Lead
The Village Board met last night to finalize the summer season preparations for the Sea Cliff Village Beach. With the season officially kicking off in just a few weeks, the focus was on sand replenishment and the hiring of the 2026 lifeguard squad. There’s also a new pilot program for expanded kayak storage racks near the yacht club, addressing a multi-year waitlist. Residents can expect to see the seasonal fencing go up by next week, signaling that the quiet winter mornings on the shore are about to get a bit more social. This year’s plan also includes a modest update to the pavilion lighting to improve evening safety without disrupting the harbor’s dark-sky character.
