But as the Shoreline Access Task Force is discovering, it’s not that easy. For an Island surrounded by water with multiple access areas to shorelines where families have been swimming for generations, the Town Code defines beach as a site where lifeguards are assigned and bathrooms are provided. That means only Crescent and Wades are considered beaches. Before discussing specific water access points in terms of uses, maintenance needs and upgrades, task force members heard from colleague Al Loreto about practices in place in Southampton and similar actions in Southold.
