Beach Stickers Are Going Digital in Smithtown
Smithtown is moving away from the little sticker you scrape onto your windshield every spring and shifting beach access over to a digital pass instead. If you have ever lost the sticker mid season or bought a new car and had to start over, this is aimed at that headache.
