Beaches in East Hampton and The Springs

East Hampton

 Every year, people escape to the Hamptons to relax and enjoy the salty air, the warm sun, and world-renowned beaches. In East Hampton, town beaches require an East Hampton town resident parking permit. The village beaches require a resident or non-resident permit –available for purchase at the town clerk's office.

Alewive Brook Landing (Cedar Point County Park)

Overview

This beach faces the Northwest Harbor and is a great place to launch your boat. Located within Cedar Point Park, 607 acres with commanding views of Gardiner's Bay, offering individual and organized group camping areas. Picnic areas, boat rentals, nature trails, vehicular access to the outer beach (with permit only), licensed hunting for waterfowl (in season), surfcasting for bass and bluefish. A great spot for canoes and kayaks. If you don’t want to pay for access to the Suffolk County Park you can park your car at the end of Alewife Brook Road and launch your kayak from there to explore Cedar Point or Alewife Pond.


Settled in 1651, Cedar Point was once a busy port for shipping farm goods, fish, and timber from Sag Harbor. The historic Cedar Point Lighthouse stood on an island 200 yards from shore when it was built in 1860. Its beacon served to guide whaling ships in and out of Sag Harbor during its heyday as a major port. The hurricane of 1938 transformed the shoreline, shifting sands to create a narrow walkable strip that now connects the lighthouse with the mainland.
