💡 Tips
- Access to village beaches typically requires a local permit during the summer; visitors can look into daily passes at county beaches nearby.
- Summer traffic on Route 27 (Sunrise Highway) is notoriously heavy, especially on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings.
- Parking in the center can be challenging; try using the municipal lots slightly off Main Street rather than circling for street parking.
- Renting a bicycle is a highly popular and practical way to navigate the village and access the beaches during peak season.
- While it has a chic Hamptons vibe, the dress code is still relaxed and coastal-think comfortable resort wear.
