Smithtown just killed the beach sticker. 🏖️
No more sticker on your windshield. Starting this month they’re going digital with Smart Pass. You register your vehicle, pay a one-time $5 fee, and your plate is your pass.
Veterans and residents 65 and older get the fee waived.
Why the change? Stickers were being shared with non-residents. That was causing parking shortages and closing popular beaches on busy days. Locking access to your plate number actually protects you as a resident.
Huntington did this in 2024. Smithtown is next.
If you live here, watch for the rollout before end of April.
