Fewer than 100 nonresident, full-season beach parking permits remain available for purchase, according to an announcement from East Hampton Village Hall sent out Monday afternoon.

The cost for each permit is $750 plus a 6-percent online credit card surcharge; the village notes that the nonresident passes can only be purchased online.

Parking passes purchased this way allow a driver to park one car at Main Beach, Egypt Beach, Wiborg's Beach, Georgica, and Two Mile Hollow between May 15 and Sept. 15. Nonresidents who miss out on a full-season beach pass can still pay a single-day rate to park.

The permits went on sale for residents of East Hampton Town on Jan. 23 and to the general public on Feb. 1. For village residents, they are available year round and do not cost anything.

But despite himself, he came face to face with both earlier this week at the Mulford Farm, where the East Hampton Historical Society is putting his likeness to work to tell the story of the role the farm’s owner, Col. David Mulford, played in the leadup to the 1776 Battle of Long Island, and of his fate during the region’s subsequent occupation by the British.
