Gorgeous easily accessible beach. Unfortunately you need a permit to park here for a long time, but the beach itself is clean, the sand is very fine, and the waves are huge.

Best way to get over these summer quarantine days. I would recommend coming in before or around 10 am. Good crowd but now because of covid the restaurant is closed and parking is limited to beach permits

We went there for a nice mid-september outing and it was amazingVery few people, mostly families, everyone super distant from each otherSand is clean and even if it was a little windy, it was warm enough for a few hours of sun!

Great beach with bathroom facilities Visitors cannot use the parking lot During the week there was plenty of parking on the street about 3/4 mile from the beach So we would drop off all the kids and then park and my husband would bike back to the beach

Take the trip atleast once, but the issue with parking is horrendous. We parked 30 minutes away at a local YMCA and took a $15 Uber ride both ways. However, the experience on this super clean beach was amazing. The evening ended with a cozy bonfire. Cheers All!

The beach is beautiful. Too bad I lost my wedding ring playing in the rough waves :( (in August) Let me know if you found one.

Eventhough it is in New York you feel like you are in Miami. Clean sand, well maintained beach not big crowds.

Main Beach is much superior from other beaches in the Hamptons. The beach staff work hard every day to make sure the beach is in peak condition. There a mostly Green flags sometimes yellow. The beach has free showers however you can buy a locker but that can take time. The chowder bowl is on top of the deck and serves a variety of foods such as lobster roll, burgers and of course they’re delicious desserts. I have been coming there since I was three and to this day it’s still the most amazing beach.

The staff was dismissive/rude and half ignored me when I was seeking help. I’ve heard of people like me having experiences like this, but never really paid it any mind. This essentially broke my heart, since I’ve been coming to East Hampton since I was a girl, particularly this beach. I’m sad to have to be changing beaches with so many memories here, but this type of exclusion makes it impossible for me to ever be comfortable here again.

Great beach. The only issue is parking. You have to either have a parking membership, or park 2 miles away.

Review №15

Great public beach, clean restrooms and some food options. We had plenty of room to relax and it was a great atmosphere. If you want food, make sure you have CASH. We got there later in the day so the parking lot was closed, but were able to park at the Lumber Lane lot in the village and take a free Circuit ride to the beach. Ended up taking a car back to our car since the Circuit line was a bit long at the end of the day.

The beach itself is beautiful. But the problem is parking. It is by permit only and as for right now (June 2020) they don’t sell any permits but still give out fines. Ridiculous.

I was perplexed by the surface cliff which I presume is an erosion monitor. We enjoyed a nice non fire, thoigh, and roasted marshmallows. The sand at this beach is some of the nicest Ive dug my feet into...soft and deep.

Great beach...clean water. Has life guards on duty. Extra parking spaces available. There are few restaurants within couple of miles. I am not sure if it had shower or changing rooms because we did not go in the water. It was a rainy and cold day. But would definitely go back there.

Quiet beach with a nice kiosk to grab chips and soda. Parking was $30 for the entire day if you do not have a prepaid beach badge on your car. Wonderful walk down the coast to Georgica Beach. Photo depicts a “busy” Saturday afternoon.

Waves were great and water not too cold. The beach was not crowded, even during weekend ($30 for parking may contribute to this). The sand was soft and luke warm. Concessions very pricey (regular cheese burger $13 -McDonald’s quality nothing special). This beach was worth the nearly 2 hour drive on the crowded Montauk Highway from Port Jefferson.

Very beautiful place. Some folks seemed bothered by minorities in the area. And Some folks are okay. Its an expensive town. Awesome town to visit though. U can feel and observe certain discomfort, and the tone of their voice are not sure what to do or say. However, they are not denying any services. In fact, I am being myself and I speak to them. Include others and have fun talking for a bit to give them a glimpse of me and my sense of character. A different, nice and a professional man. The other percentage of the population are supportive and progressives.

The East Hampton Main Beach is truly a wonderful and safe beach to be in. The beach is beautiful on its own, the waves are fantastic if you like to hitch a ride on the waves that are approximately about 4 feet high on average (to those who wish to know). The sand is rock-free so it makes it easy to be able to sit down and enjoy the sun and the hot breeze. And nevertheless, the people there are kind as well! So if you ever come to visit East Hampton during the summertime, you should take a day to enjoy the Atlantic Ocean.

Beautiful. Usually quiet. End of summer parties tonight. Laughing young people. Stars, rhythm of the waves, cool breeze. Tang of salt in the air. Come and see, hear, scent and even taste the ancient beauties.

Had a sprain ankle that day so i could not get to enjoy the waters. The sand is what I have never seen before it was amusing very hard and big so grainy. The waters are too rough tho. No lifeguard there at a certain time which is very risky. Sad.

Very nice beach with bathrooms and a grill for some food. Parking is $30 and it fills up fast, most of the spots in the lot are reserved for people with permits. Get there early on a nice day if you want to park here.If you drive out on main street there are some side roads with free street parking, just be ready for a 20 minute walk to the beach.

Loved it here. The sand was clean and white and it was a gorgeous day. To be clear, we went during off season (after Labor day) so parking was free and it wasnt crowded. Not sure if it will be the same story during the regular season.

Nice beach but too expensive. It is the Hamptons but still too much for a day visit

Ke
Review №82

Great public facilities, soft white sand, and plenty of space to roam with the waves...as a California Coast child this is what a quality municipal beach is meant to be. If driving there in the summer, try to come much later in the evening when the collection booth may not be manned, otherwise expect $25 parking fees on weekdays and strict permit restrictions on weekends (registry required at Village Hall).

One of the best beaches in the world with its charm and location. The best time to go is after Labor Day when the crowd is gone and you have the ability to park over looking the ocean.

The beach is nice and clean, the only problem is the quality of the food available on beach and the prices. 2nd most important thing, if you wanna go there, do take cash with you. They do not accept cards.
