“The supplied short link resolves to the Google Maps place Iodine Beach at 41.0107896, -72.0374816. This is the Napeague Harbor-side water access by the Walking Dunes, not the separate Atlantic-facing Napeague Beach surf spot. East Hampton's official scenic-area page places the Walking Dunes along the eastern edge of Napeague Harbor. Public map/park sources do not establish wingfoil permission, navigable foil depth, launch boundaries or rescue coverage.”
