Gerard Drive Park Beach is a short, quiet road end in Springs. Vehicle access needs a Town parking permit or launch permit, and there are no lifeguards, no restrooms and no concession. Swimming is prohibited when no lifeguard is on duty. It is open year-round.
Use it as access to the water: for walking, casting a line or launching something small. For a swim, drive to Maidstone Park Beach, where guards work 10am to 5pm in season. The other unguarded Springs landings, Louse Point and Flaggy Hole, work the same way.
Dogs should be under control at all times, with summer limits from 10am to 6pm between May 15 and September 15. Parking and drive-on rules are on Hamptons Beach Pass. The East Hampton page lists every beach in the Town and Village.
