The permits arent all their cracked out to be unless your big into fishing, the only decent one I've seen is the Smith Point which is a county permit and you dont have to bring fishing equipment and you can cook on the beach. Seems the state permits require you to actually fish and carry lots of equipment, not just cruise around the beach. The only permit I get the empire pass, I can goto all the state beaches, swim, and fish off the peirs if I wanna fish!

Smith's point is cool. YOu can drive on the beach. YOu can take the family and put all your gear in the truck and not have to shlep it through a parking lot! And the beaches are nice. Plus, you can follow the sandy trails all the way to the inlet facing West Hampton. There's fishing spots along the way. Lots of those little snappers at the end there that my little kids like to fish for. I only went a few times. I seem to recall it's $90. You get a fishing permit, but don't have ot carry fishing gear unless you're gonna be on the beach after dark or something like that. You need a shovel, and a few items that you should carry anyway. But they don't check.
They provide air for airing back up as you leave. It was the only time my wife drove my old jeep off road. She kinda liked it.

Hey, I try to stop on here daily, but I dont post too much, working monday - friday and sometimes saturday so it keeps me pretty busy.
Just got a hypertec for the Jeep and running on premium fuel now, too bad its only driven on the weekends now! I cant enjoy it as much.

Buggy permits should not be abused just like guys in the trails nobody wants lose right to offroad. Most surf fisherman are not to kind to people who are not on the beach to fish. If anny thing put a pole the truck and keep evryone happy.Most buggy permits in jersey are issued as sportfishing licences and if u do not have the proper gear u can be fined or lose your licence.Every year i help people dig their trucks out that buy buggy permits and think its just afree ride on the beach,Idon't mind helping some one out but I would rather be fishing and I know all u other die hard surf fisherman know what i am talking about.Sorry I went on rant but this is something i am very passionate about and I dont even live in long island
Im passionate about going to the beach.
I fish, offshore only from my fishing boat.

ah yes, I remember that now. And that's why they say to get there early, because they limit the number of trucks on the sand!
Either way, you need a seasonal pass, right? How much is it?

They have day passes or seasonal passes, Smith Point may actually be a town permit if I recall, since it was more money to go if you didn't reside in the Town of Brookhaven.
