Gloucester beaches are open, but it could be difficult for non-residents to be able to use them — especially on popular days.
The city’s beaches and Stage Fort Park had reopened back on May 22 as part of Phase 1 of Gov. Charlie Baker’s reopening plan. But on Monday, Gloucester officials noted in a news release that Good Harbor Beach is now open to “a limited number of non-residents… on a first come, first serve basis each day,” in addition to continuing to be available to residents.
“We urge residents and visitors to continue to follow social distancing guidelines,” Karin Carroll, Gloucester’s public health director, said in the release. “Wear a face covering when social distancing isn’t feasible. Please do the right thing, so that we can keep reducing the spread of this virus and move forward with reopening, safely.
