Village Board Sets Final Summer Beach Rules Tonight
Sea Cliff, NY · May 19, 2026
The humidity is creeping in early today, but the breeze off Hempstead Harbor is still holding its own. It is a perfect morning to get the heavy yard work out of the way before the afternoon heat settles over the cliffs.
📰 The Lead
The Village Board of Trustees meets tonight at 7:00 PM at Village Hall, and the agenda is heavy on summer logistics. With Memorial Day weekend just around the corner, officials are finalizing the seasonal staffing for the Village Beach and confirming the final route for the upcoming holiday parade.
A key point of discussion involves the updated parking enforcement plan for the shoreline, aimed at reducing congestion for residents during peak weekend hours. There is also a proposal on the table to expand the junior lifeguard program, which has seen record interest from local teens this spring. Residents can expect a vote on the final beach fee schedule and guest pass policies before the meeting adjourns. This session serves as the final administrative hurdle before the waterfront officially transitions into its high-season operations.
