After six years of planning, ground was broken for the Westhampton Beach Village sewer project. The project will eliminate 5,000 pounds of nitrogen each year from the bay, representing a 24% reduction. Having the sewer system in place will also alleviate some of the restrictions on downtown, allowing for occupancy of apartments above Main Street, and expanded dining opportunities. #whbvillage #westhamptonbeach

The Osprey are back on the East End for the summer. Nests seem to be pretty much occupied and pairs have been seen mating. It’s gonna be a beautiful day and it’s a great chance to see these amazing creatures in their habitat. Don’t get too close to the nests, though, it stresses them out.

A state court ruled that residents of the neighbor

A state court ruled that residents of the neighborhoods adjacent to Amagansett’s popular “Truck Beach” own the sand and that the town may not permit vehicles to use the beach except for fishing. The town has pledged to appeal the ruling, or possibly seize ownership of the beach through eminent domain. What the legal jousting will mean for the use of the beach this summer remains to be seen. #beach #summer #amagansett #thehamptons #summerinthehamptons #4x4life #easthamptonny #longisland #publicaccess
