AdvertisementBy Hartford CourantMay 15, 2020 at 6:18 pmConnecticut’s state parks with beaches will remain open, but with new rules to make sure sunbathers don’t get too close to each other. If you are planning an outing to Hammonasset State Park or any of the other public beaches in Connecticut, here are the new social distancing guidelines:In short, Lamont’s “guidelines” say it’s fine to go to the beach in small groups as long as you don’t get too close to anyone else.Advertisement“Our beaches are some of our most beautiful and treasured assets,'' Gov. Ned Lamont said. “We want to make sure they are enjoyed up and down the East Coast in the safest possible way, especially as the summer season begins. Working together as states to make sure they can be enjoyed responsibly makes sense.”The new social distancing guidelines ask beachgoers to gather only with immediate household members.AdvertisementThe governor said beachgoers should limit groups to no more than five and make sure group members stay six feet apart.There should be at least 15 feet between beach blankets.The governor’s office is urging people to bring face coverings and to use them when you are in close proximity to others.If social distancing guidelines are followed, the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection will reduce parking lot capacity and close beaches. Long-term beach closure is a possibility if the guidelines are not followed, Lamont’s office said.“I want to thank our DEEP staff for their work to maintain access to these special places for the public,” DEEP Commissioner Katie Dykes said. “I am asking the public to plan ahead and practice social distancing so that we can continue to keep these places open going forward.” Advertisement
