With the ubiquitousness of the iPod, music has become a much more personal experience. We thought that boom boxes had all but disappeared. Luckily, the beaches in the Bridgehampton-Sagaponack area have always been immune to loud radios. We go to the beach to enjoy the peaceful calm. It has been rare over the years to have a serene day ruined by a radio or boom box...that is the job of a ruckus child or that annoying Kadima game. Late Saturday afternoon on Sagg Main was different.
When did this become a place where people played loud music on the beach? Buy an iPod or go away. Leaving the beach we did see an town ordinance sign listing a variety of illegal activities. "Amplified Music" is among them. Unfortunately "Alcoholic Beverages" was also on the list, so our bottle of Prosecco made us offenders too. We never realized that radios on the beach were actually illegal at Southampton Town beaches. Luckily, we've never even had to think about it.

Off Leash Dogs. Now here is a flagrant foul if ever there was one. The TOSH beaches clearly forbid off leash dogs on the beach yet this is largely ignored. Off leash dogs are free to crap all over the beach and in the water where we and our children play. Dog feces in the sand can spread all sorts of nasty disease including creeping eruption, a problem commonly encountered where these ordinances are unenforced. In addition rowdy labs going after a frisbee are very often capable of biting beachgoers. Would you like your toddler bit on the face? Speak up. Call parks and rec about this problem; 631/728-8585 or call the police if you see off leash dogs. Reply to this

What has happened to Coopers Beach: Why, oh why must the masses flock to the vast beach and land on top of their neighbors towel? Last weekend we had our Saturday at Coopers, along with my cousin who rarely makes it to Southampton, prefering Montauk (which appears to be all the rage now). She arrives prior to my crew of toddlers and Mommies and is aghast at how their is a vast, beautiful beach, and the pierced, loud, half naked (can't go farther) ones have camped all around the families. By noon we have less than a foot in distance around us and move. 2 hours later.. move again. So sad. Coopers was my favorite place. Now the food is bad, the lines are long, the beach too crowded with WHO???.... Long Beach, here I come with my toddlers, or at my pool. Bobbi Reply to this
