New Hampshire Beaches Reopen To Sunbathing, Other Activities

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Sunbathing, sandcastle building and other activities are now allowed on New Hampshire beaches, Gov. Chris Sununu said Friday.

The announcement came just four days after beaches had re-opened to walking, swimming and other motion-based activity.

Opponents of those restrictions had planned to hold a protest to "draw a line in the sand" on Saturday.

Sununu said the decision to remove the restrictions was based on public health data regarding the spread of the coronavirus. Parking remains limited, and groups must stay 6 feet apart from each other.
