Riverhead Town will not be selling one-day or seasonal beach passes to nonresidents this year, a practice it discontinued last year when the COVID-19 pandemic struck, according to Supervisor Yvette Aguiar.
But the Town Board still must decide if it plans to issue beach passes to hotels and lodgings for use by their guests.
A one-day nonresident pass had cost $35, according to parks and recreation superintendent Ray Coyne, while the annual nonresident permit was $200.
The board discussed hotel/motel permits at its work session last Thursday.
“This is something that in the past has been done, with the town is giving beach permits to local lodging facilities so they can pass them on to their customers who are staying here,” Councilman Tim Hubbard said.
