Visits down at Maine beaches after crowds of last weekend

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • March 28, 2020

Early last week, public beaches in York, Kittery, Wells and Ogunquit were closed for fears of spreading the coronavirus, after a weekend that saw large numbers of people gathering on the beaches. Then on Thursday, Maine closed 10 coastal state parks from southern Maine to the midcoast. On Saturday, public beaches in Saco, Old Orchard Beach and Scarborough had visitors, but not many.
