There is an effort by the feds to have three "entryways" to the beach along Asharoken Ave. since they are using Sandy funds but I'm curious how many parking spaces would be available.
That is one town where I always drive way below the speed limit.

I'll get a kick out of this battle, being from the area. I'm all for public beach access. It should be noted, however that there are no shortage of public beaches in the area. Hobart Beach in Eaton's Neck is town of Huntington and never gets too crowded and there's Crab Meadow, also Town of Huntington, and if you know what to do, residency doesn't really matter at all, and of course there's Sunken Meadow. There's also Steers Beach which I think is a Northport Village park, but it's always grossed me out given its home to a storm water outfall pipe and literally in the shadow of the power plant.
