Permit offices and systems
Ten separate systems issue Hamptons beach permits. Each page here covers one: who qualifies, what it costs, when it goes on sale and where to buy from the office itself.
A permit from one system is worthless at another system's beach. A Town of Southampton sticker does not work at Cooper's Beach, which is Village of Southampton. A Town of East Hampton sticker does not work at Main Beach in East Hampton Village. The directory below is the shortest route to the right office.
