Interesting turf wars going on all over the country, but this one is probably the biggest from NY Times:
[SIZE=7]Beach Towns Have a Message for New York City Residents: Go Away[/SIZE]
Annoyed by the city’s decision to keep its shoreline closed, officials in nearby areas are limiting beach access to keep outsiders at bay.
In the [Hamptons]('https://www.easthamptonstar.com/villages-health/2020521/east-hampton-officials-prepare-limited-beach-openings'), the locals have put up barricades to limit parking and deployed enforcement officers to ticket outsiders. Jersey Shore towns have banned short-term leases and Airbnb rentals. The Suffolk County executive’s office taunted Mayor Bill de Blasio: “Do your job. Figure out a plan to safely reopen your beaches.”
Since the coronavirus pandemic began, tensions have repeatedly flared over whether too many New York City residents have [decamped to outlying vacation areas]('https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/25/nyregion/coronavirus-leaving-nyc-vacation-homes.html'), potentially taking the virus with them. But now the region appears on the brink of a full-fledged (and nasty) battle over beaches, touched off by the city’s decision to keep its shoreline closed.
In normal times, the Memorial Day weekend start of beach season sparks a mass migration from the city to Long Island, the Jersey Shore and, to a lesser extent, Connecticut. But Mr. de Blasio’s delay in opening the city’s beaches for swimming — on Friday, his office suggested they could reopen in June — has led to a backlash from local officials in those areas.
The officials say they fear that their shorelines will be overwhelmed by an exodus of sun-starved New Yorkers blocked from their own beaches, which can in normal times attract a million people a day.

It’s a scene that’s going to play out
As govenors , mayors and county executives
Squabble over what opens and when
if and when they ever try to close down a particular area in the future the effect will intensify
nj now has a 25 man capacity on head boats
Ny still 0
You draw your own conclusions as to what’s happening

they do carry cash though... cellie...
It will be tough for citidiots to bribe at my town beach as they never work alone and they are mostly political hires (GOP). There is a bicycle path that goes by it now but very few racks for them. I think the city peeps are just going to have to get up early and be part of the 50% capacity at Jones Beach and Robert Moses State Parks but even more likely, just wait out Duhblazio and go to the city beaches when they finally open. Jones bused people from the city anyway, but I don't think those buses are running.

I hate to use the expression, but this is more "Fake News". I frequently go to town of Hempstead Beaches and you always have to show your driver's license to prove that you are a local resident. There is nothing different now. The state beaches, Jones Beach which is huge is still open to anyone, local, town, state residents and out of state residents.

Agreed. TOBAY did let non-residents in, but for an exorbitant fee, and except for a children's spray park on the bay side its really just an open ocean beach with restaurants and a very limited concession stand. BYO stuff or do without. this year I think TOBAY has stated residents only but since my body surfing days are pretty much gone, I don't go to the beach anymore, just to occasionally surfcast. Jones Beach is not what it was when I worked there 50 yrs ago, having eliminated West End One, Field One (and Field 9 washed away with a hurricane in the early 70s.) those three fields held another 4000+ cars or so, and did West End Two even open yet with the china virus testing there ? Town of Babylon beaches also restrict to residents only.
Besides, the whole weekend looks like mostly cloudy and 60s.
Every day is Saturday.
