Noise from Hempstead Harbor Beach

We’ve sent an inquiry and complaint to Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth about excessive sound levels coming from the music venue at Hempstead Harbor Beach on Saturday nights. The sound travels unimpeded across the harbor and disturbs the peace and quiet enjoyment of Sea Cliff residents. Levels have been measured as high as 55db in Sea Cliff. The music has blared from Hempstead Beach until midnight on Memorial Day and June 10.  Despite the venue being three miles away, the music is loud enough where a person can easy hear the lyrics.

Furthermore, we’ve asked the Supervisor to look into the fireworks shows where exploding shells are launched from the harbor and explode with report at house level in Sea Cliff. The explosions frighten children and pets, and are a nuisance.
