 Beach access East Hampton & parking 

We have rented a house in East Hampton but the owner has been less than forthcoming in giving advice! Can anyone advise us on beach access - presumably some have a permit requirement- and arrrangements for car parking in the village? I read somewhere about permits but our house doesn't come with one.

Many thanks

It is only the village beaches that you cannot get into without a permit. There are several beach clubs that you can pay to park or you can do what I have always done and just park on the road and walk in. Just be careful of tow away zones

Here's a page that explains the rules

hamptons.com/sm/hamptons_648_The_Beach_Rules…

There are 3 beaches you can use without a permit in EH during the week and each requires paying $15/day to park. You won't be able to use any beach on a weekend without a permit. If you have signed a rental agreement, you may be able to take that to town hall and pay for a parking permit.

You can bike to any of the beaches and get on for free. It's just parking that's the problem.

Thank you! Are there similar restrictions about parking in town?
