Fewer than 100 nonresident, full-season beach parking permits remain available for purchase, according to an announcement from East Hampton Village Hall sent out Monday afternoon.

The cost for each permit is $750 plus a 6-percent online credit card surcharge; the village notes that the nonresident passes can only be purchased online.

Parking passes purchased this way allow a driver to park one car at Main Beach, Egypt Beach, Wiborg's Beach, Georgica, and Two Mile Hollow between May 15 and Sept. 15. Nonresidents who miss out on a full-season beach pass can still pay a single-day rate to park.

The permits went on sale for residents of East Hampton Town on Jan. 23 and to the general public on Feb. 1. For village residents, they are available year round and do not cost anything.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
