...Long Island's South Shore, many towns issue parking stickers for supposedly public beaches only to residents or those who rent local houses for the summer. In East Hampton, for example, any other visitor who wants to swim may have to park his car as far as a mile away and walk to the beach.

Manhattan ticket brokers normally charge more-$1.50 per seat...
