Beach Season Officially Begins — Resident Permits Required Starting Today
Sea Cliff, NY · June 1, 2026
The sound of the surf is a little more exclusive starting this morning as beach season enforcement officially begins. If you haven't stuck your 2026 permit on the windshield yet, today is the day to get it done.
📰 The Lead
Today marks the formal transition into the summer season. Starting this morning, beach staff will be stationed at the waterfront to check for 2026 resident parking permits and beach passes. If you haven't secured yours at Village Hall yet, you will want to make that a priority before heading down the hill, as enforcement of village ordinances regarding shoreline access is now in full effect.
Beyond the sand, the Village Board is convening tonight for a conference meeting. The primary focus is the final review of the summer traffic safety plan, which includes proposed temporary one-way designations for the narrowest lanes near the water. These measures aim to prevent the gridlock that typically peaks during sunset hours in July and August. Trustees are expected to finalize the signage plan and determine the exact dates for the directional shifts before the first major heatwave of the month arrives.
