Bridgehampton’s ocean shore has two Town of Southampton beaches: Mecox Beach at 535 Jobs Lane and W. Scott Cameron Beach at 425 Dune Road. Both follow the Town’s standard 10am to 5pm lifeguard shift whenever they are open.
Mecox is the one with amenities: about 250 feet of shoreline, a mobile concession, an outdoor shower, restrooms and a volleyball court. Cameron is a pavilion beach, and the Town’s 2026 map lists it for resident permits.
