We've arranged round trip shuttles from EHP Resort & Marina and Shagwong Marina to bring everyone to and from the ceremony. The shuttles will begin at 4:00pm. If you plan to Uber, please go ahead and uber directly to Shagwong Marina. After the ceremony, shuttles will return everyone back to EHP Resort & Marina to get the party started! If you're driving, there's parking at both Shagwong and EHP Resort & Marina. At EHP, the parking is valet, so please bring $ for a tip :)

If you're trying to do a lot of exploring while out in the Hamptons, we generally do recommend you or someone in your group rents a car. There are definitely ride shares accessible, but the area is pretty rural and things are spaced out! Parking at the beach is a pain in the butt, though! So please see the next question :)
East Hampton has a multitude of lovely golden sand beaches, both on the bay and ocean side. The catch? Most beaches require parking passes. Guests of East Hampton Point Resort will have access to a free shuttle service that goes directly to the ocean. Atlantic Avenue Beach, Main Beach (lot 2), and Two Mile Hollow Beach allow you to buy a parking pass for $50/day. The East Hampton Circuit (via the Ride Circuit app) is a shuttle service that picks you up in East Hampton Village at a predetermined stop and takes you to Main Beach. For others, either parking on a street down the road and walking or using ride share would be advisable.
YES! Ticks are small, roughly sesame seed-sized bugs that carry Lyme disease and also happen thrive on the east end of Long Island. These bugs live in dead leaves, tall grasses, and shrubbery. They like to bite and burrow their heads in your skin, and after 24 hours of having a tick latched to you your chances of catching tick-borne illnesses increase. If you do get bit, don't just rip it out because the head can remain in your skin; make sure you get the head out... So, have we scared sufficiently? Good! Remember to check yourself for ticks if you've been frolicking around in the grass or trails. Now with that said, you likely aren't going to get bitten by a tick. Sand is safe, so beaches are wonderful. And as long as you check yourself, you're going to be fine. Just be smart and don't go romping through the woods chasing a squirrel like Aria.
