At approximately 9:15 p.m. Monday, streets leading from the beach area will be “one way” to the Post Road and no traffic will be permitted to go south into the beach area until exiting traffic has cleared. (This time may vary slightly due to the starting time of the fireworks display. Typically the streets are closed 15 minutes after the start of the fireworks.)
No fireworks of any kind or sparklers are allowed on any of the beaches or parking areas. Alcohol is also not permitted on Town parks or beaches.
Respectfully,
Police Capt. Donald Smith
