Portion of Glenmere “Hope” Beach Access Closed for Repairs

The stairs leading to the beach at the Glenmere Avenue “Hope” beach access were severely damaged by the recent storms and rough beach conditions, and they are unsafe for use. Access to the beach is closed to the public until further notice.

Parking will continue to be available, allowing the public to get to the Little Red Mailbox and the Little Free Library. However, there is NO access to the beach. The stairs have been completely removed and the hazardous area leading to the beach will remain closed to the public until further notice. Please obey all caution signs and stay away from the taped off area.

Thank you for your patience as the Town works towards repairing this access. An update will be provided once the access has re-opened.
