The East End Dig

Digging up what’s being built, from Westhampton to Montauk.

No. 7 · Week of August 11 – August 17, 2026

Morning, East End. Hampton lifeguards Dylan Zucker, Drake Harper and Nico Van der Meer won gold in the U19 male rescue race at nationals. That’s the sort of headline people carry from the beach to the mailbox. We’ve got the permit noise lined up. On to the sheet.

217 filings hit the public record this week. 217 in Southampton. Hampton Bays led again, 31 filings.

The tent guys filed 8 permits this week. 700 guests' worth of poles and canvas.

6 filings mention hot tub this week. The amenities race continues.
