A Waldo county beach has been closed due to overcrowding during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Sandy Point Beach in Stockton Springs has closed due to overcrowding. Visitors seeking fresh air and a walk along the Penobscot River will find both parking lots taped off, and the main gate locked.
A local resident told us, the beach has had a full parking lot most days, as people look to get outside for fresh air and exercise. We were told the beach has been closed for about a week.
