Shoreline Stabilization Plan Takes Center Stage Tonight

Sea Cliff, NY · May 18, 2026

The humidity is holding off for one more morning, making it a perfect start to the work week. It is a quiet Monday in the village, but there is plenty to discuss as we head into the evening hours.

📰 The Lead

The Village Board of Trustees gathers tonight at Village Hall, and the agenda is topped by a significant update on the shoreline stabilization project. Following a series of winter swells that accelerated erosion near the base of the cliffs, engineers have finalized a proposal to reinforce the sea wall while preserving the natural look of the waterfront. This isn't just about rocks and concrete; it’s about protecting the very foundation of our lower village roads and the integrity of the boardwalk. Tonight’s session serves as the final public comment period before the bidding process begins next month. If you’ve spent any time walking the shoreline lately, you’ve seen the orange fencing—this meeting is the chance to hear exactly how and when those barriers will finally come down.

  • The Sea Cliff Boardwalk
    • Stretching along the harbor, this wooden path follows the footprint of the village’s Victorian-era bathing pavilions. It offers a front-row seat to the sunset, where the only sound is the rhythmic tide hitting the pilings below the weathered planks.
