New Lifeguard Hours and Beach Pavilion Updates for the Season
Sea Cliff, NY · June 15, 2026
Monday morning brings a bit of a damp start, but the village is gearing up for the first full week of the peak summer season. If you're heading toward the water today, keep an eye on the shifting tides and the new weekday lifeguard schedule.
📰 The Lead
Sea Cliff Beach is officially moving into its high-season operations this week. Following a weekend of heavy foot traffic, the Village has finalized the lifeguard rotation to ensure full coverage from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily through Labor Day. This year, the Beach Pavilion is introducing a streamlined digital payment system for guest passes to reduce the long queues seen during peak hours last summer. While the rain today might keep the crowds thin, the facility is fully prepped for the humidity predicted later this week. Residents are reminded that seasonal beach permits must be displayed on dashboards starting this morning to avoid ticketing in the resident-only lots. It’s a small price to pay for keeping our slice of the Hempstead Harbor accessible and orderly for the community.
