Beach is located in East Hampton on eastern Long Island, New York. This
idyllic beach is frequented by the rich and famous who so highly regard
their beach that Leatherman has seen even super models picking up litter
washed ashore from the sea. This beach was heavily eroded by Super Storm
Sandy and subsequent winter storms, yet it has largely recovered. The proud
pavilion at Main Beach was little affected because it was set back several
hundred feet from the water’s edge. A great team of lifeguards stands watch,
making this a very safe beach for bathing and swimming.
East Hampton is a quaint, small village that offers sophisticated luxury. The most enjoyable way to get around town is bicycling, which also avoids paying the pricy parking fee. As “Dr. Beach” (www.DrBeach.org), Leatherman has selected the annual Top 10 Beaches since 1991; past National Winners are retired and listed on the web site. Fifty criteria are used to evaluate beaches, which include water and sand quality as well as safety and environmental management. Dr. Leatherman is an internationally known coastal scientist who has published 16 books and hundreds of scientific articles and reports about storm impacts, coastal erosion and ways to improve beach health and safety. Starting next year, even more emphasis will be placed on environmental management and beach safety. Bonus points will be awarded for prohibition of smoking on beaches. Oahu, Hawaii and New York City are out front with Mayor Michael Bloomberg leading the way in the latter case. Additional
