Ever since the Village made the innovative purchase of the Whalehouse Point, our Village-owned ferry has enjoyed tremendous popularity. Moored at the Village Marina, the ferry starts its "runs-for-summer-fun" over to "Ho-Hum" Beach beginning Memorial Day weekend, and then operates on a "weekend schedule only" until the close of schools in late June. Once school is out at the end of June, the Whalehouse Point ferries anxious beachgoers to and from Ho Hum Beach six days a week, weather permitting. Ho Hum Beach is closed on Tuesdays. Labor Day weekend usually brings the "full week" ferry season to a halt. However, again weather cooperating, weekend trips may be scheduled after Labor Day.
