About the Beach
Shipyard will implement a soft opening of the beach parking effective Friday, May 1st.
Please note the following:
- There will be no shower facility and the water will be turned off.
- The beach restrooms will only be open from 9 am to 3 pm.
- All beach-goers should bring their own hand sanitizer, as supplies are limited.
- The beach locker area will also open on Friday May 1st at 7 am.
- All beach-goers are to avoid touching rails and others’ lockers. They must also maintain proper social distancing on the beach, as well as while entering and exiting the beach area.
- This is a temporary measure and the success of the beach parking being open will depend on the compliance of the owners and guests.
About the Welcome Center
The Welcome Center is opening under temporary guidelines starting Friday, May 1. What will be different?
- We will strictly adhere to social distancing and cleanliness guidelines, as outlined by the CDC.
- We will limit traffic to no greater than 5 people (non-employees) in the building at any given time, in accordance with Governor McMaster’s order regarding limits of 5 persons per 1000 sq feet.
- Anyone entering the building will be required to stay a minimum of 6 ft away from all others.
- The hours will be from 8 am-1 pm Monday through Friday.
- We will not have weekend hours until further notice. However, our dispatch team will be available at the Visitors /Dispatch Lane for assistance on the weekends.
- This is only temporary. We will extend the hours back to 7:45 am-4:15 pm as soon as deemed safe for you and our employees.

It is important that any visitors or owners from hot spots quarantine for 14 days, and the Town recommends wearing masks and continuing social distancing to contain the virus spread.
