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.
