Chris Kennedy, The Trustees of Reservations Martha’s Vineyard superintendent, said over sand vehicle access to Norton Point beach was closed off Friday to avoid overcrowding and he expects more closures over the holiday weekend.
“Too many cars and not enough real estate,” Mr. Kennedy said.
The two-mile long barrier beach connects Katama to Chappaquiddick and is popular with families and fishermen, and protected nesting shorebirds. The Trustees are responsible for managing the beach under a contract with Dukes County.
