Milford has banned alcohol and non-residents from its beaches following a lack of social distancing seen at Walnut Beach this weekend.

Mayor Ben Blake also says that lifeguards at the gates will be checking any bags or coolers that come in.

Russ Fetcho, from Milford, says he was at Walnut Beach on Friday when he saw crowds of people.

 

He says this is important to make sure that people are following social distancing.

Beaches will also be closed earlier at 8 p.m. instead of 10 p.m.

Blake says there will be a $90 fine for people who don't obey parking and new city beach orders. The restrictions don't apply to Silver Sands, which is a state park.
