Oyster Bay, NY – Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board today announced that seasonal beach parking sticker sales will begin on Saturday, May 16th, one week later than originally scheduled. In recent days, the Town of Oyster Bay has restricted beach access to residents only and enhanced safety measures with new signage and pedestrian barriers. Residents are reminded to be safe and cover their face when unable to maintain a social distance.
Supervisor Saladino stated, “The summer season is nearly upon us, and many residents are eagerly looking forward to a sun-filled fun day at our beaches. By purchasing a beach sticker in advance, residents can avoid the inevitable lines that often accompany the start of the beach season and spend more time with their feet in the sand instead. We ask residents to follow the advice of health professionals and keep their family safe by socially distancing from others while at the beach and by utilizing face coverings if you’re unable to keep a safe distance from others.”
Beach parking stickers will be on sale daily beginning May 16th, from 10am to 2pm, at TOBAY Beach, Philip B. Healey Beach at Florence Avenue in Massapequa, Tappen Beach in Glenwood Landing, Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park and Beach in Oyster Bay, and John J. Burns Town Park in Massapequa (beginning May 18th). To purchase a beach parking sticker for your vehicle, residents must present their vehicle registration and bring the vehicle they plan to drive to the beach since parking stickers are placed on the vehicle at the time of purchase. Only residents may purchase beach parking stickers for Town of Oyster Bay beaches. Seasonal parking stickers are $60, which pay for themselves following three visits.
Free beach parking is offered to Town of Oyster Bay senior citizens, the disabled and those on social security disability. To protect your health and safety during this COVID-19 pandemic, senior citizens and the disabled will simply be asked to show their driver’s license and registration from behind the window when visiting the beach for the first time this season. A parking sticker will then be adhered to the vehicle to ensure continued free access upon future arrival through the established Express Lane. If seniors or those with disabilities choose to visit the beach in another vehicle, they must simply present their Driver’s License or Beach ID Card from behind the window and will then receive a free day pass.Free beach parking is offered to Town of Oyster Bay senior citizens, the disabled and those on social security disability.
