Village Board Meets Tonight to Discuss Summer Beach Access

Sea Cliff, NY · May 12, 2026

Happy Tuesday — the clouds are hanging low today, but the Village Board is looking ahead to sunny days with tonight's meeting on beach season logistics. It is a perfect afternoon to swap the garden work for a quiet seat at the library.

📰 The Lead

Tonight’s Village Board of Trustees meeting at Village Hall is set to tackle the final details for the 2026 summer season at Sea Cliff Beach. On the agenda is a review of the seasonal staffing plan, including lifeguard certifications and gate attendant schedules. More importantly for residents, the Board will discuss a proposed update to the guest pass policy, aiming to streamline entry for non-resident visitors accompanied by locals.

This comes after last year’s feedback regarding weekend congestion and the difficulty of obtaining day passes on short notice. While the beach doesn't officially open for full-time service until Memorial Day weekend, these administrative hurdles are the final step in ensuring the pavilion and swimming area are ready for the crowds. Residents are encouraged to attend the 7:00 PM session to voice any concerns before the rules are codified for the year.
