I was sitting at the kitchen table with my wife not too long ago, wondering how it was possible that I have lived here on the East End of Long Island, NY, for over 30 years and have not yet visited all the beaches of East Hampton Township. So we made a vow to walk all 40 beaches of this town and record our observations on this blog!
I have organized the 40 beaches into 7 areas and will post each area separately. Each beach will be described separately with an emphasis on: how to get there and where to park; what to find there (sand, rocks, shells, boulders); what you can do there (bathe, walk, collect shells, fish, dive); and some interesting lore, tales or history.
My “assistants” in this project are Kenda (our 2-year-old German Shepherd) and Maria, my wife.
