The Department of Conservation and Recreation opened 81 beaches and waterfronts across the state Saturday just in time for Memorial Day. Weekend lifeguard services are also scheduled to start this weekend at many waterfronts, the department said.
“DCR works, every year, to make our waterfronts and pools as safe as possible for visitors seeking relief from the summer heat,” DCR Commissioner Brian Arrigo said in a statement. “Starting this weekend, I am excited to welcome families back to our parks and beaches and I encourage everyone to take precautions and follow posted signage when visiting our properties to ensure a safe and fun experience.”
Full lifeguard services are scheduled to start on June 17 at select beaches and waterfronts.
