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.

Time to Strip, Dip, Freeze

Polar plunges at Main Beach in East Hampton and Beach Lane in Wainscott on New Year’s Day accomplish many things: bracing and exhilarating starts to the year, the company of many hundreds of friends and fellow townspeople, and a chance to secure bragging rights that extend well into 2026. But most important, each serves as a critical fund-raiser for food pantries.

Support Where It’s Most Needed

Soon after moving to Water Mill with her family in 2015, Marit Molin became aware of a largely unacknowledged population underpinning the complicated Hamptons economy. That led her to create Hamptons Community Outreach, which is dedicated to meeting basic critical needs to help break cycles of poverty.
