HAMPTONS BEACHES
Beaches in the Hamptons range from Village to Town Beaches vary beach to beach. Some offer public access & others are reserved strictly for residential vehicles with residential passes. Strict guidelines & steep parking fines for vehicles without stickers can make for an unpleasant day at the beach.
​
The Town of Southampton and The Town of East Hampton outline the beaches and their parking requirements.
​
Public Parking for beaches with full service rest rooms & showers & a snack bar(lunch) come with a daily fee. While the fees are a bit steep; they are much less expensive than the parking ticket. Cooper's Beach in Southampton, Main Beach in East Hampton & at Hither Hills in Montauk offer public access.
