Dix Hills and Melville residents are lucky during the summer months to have such easy 
access to both the North Shore beaches and the renowned ocean beaches on the South Shore. The Town of Huntington has 8 town beaches and they’re all open the end of May to Labor Day Weekend. The seasonal permit (for residents) is only $25 and can be obtained right at the beach with a valid driver’s license and car registration. You can find directions to the beaches and more information at the Town of Huntington’s website.
