The town began to pull lifeguards off duty on Aug. 17 at East Wharf, and then pulled those off at Surf Club on Sunday.

"A reminder that parking passes are still required at all three Town beaches seven days a week until Labor Day," First Selectwoman Peggy Lyons wrote in a recent community update. "Beach parking passes for the 2026 summer season are available for purchase online, through the mail, or in person."
