EAST HAVEN — Mayor Joe Carfora signed an emergency ordinance Friday that imposes restrictions on the use of the East Haven Town Beach, which is reopening this weekend — including limiting its use to East Haven residents.
Carfora said in a news release that he did so to comply with Gov. Ned Lamont’s executive orders and recommended guidelines issued by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
To gain access to the beach, residents will have to show a current valid photo identification with their East Haven address to beach monitors at the beach entrance, Carfora said in the release.

The beach will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday; and Friday through Sunday and on Memorial Day from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
“We understand how important it is for people to enjoy our beautiful coastline, and this plan will ensure that people have access to the sand and water for use while still remaining safe,” Carfora said.
Beach monitors will assist residents to find an appropriate location on the beach and will remind residents to maintain safe social distancing. They also will track the number of residents admitted to be certain the maximum capacity of 500 set by town officials is not exceeded.
The town budget, which the Town Council approved Thursday night, included $10,000 to hire additional seasonal beach staff.
“Beachgoers are expected to stay at least six ... feet apart from others not in their family/group when walking on the beach and related parking and facilities areas, and to wear a mask or cloth face covering over their mouth and nose if unable to maintain this safe social distance,” the news release said.

Meanwhile, the town’s splash pad and playgrounds across Cosey Beach Avenue from the Town Beach will remain closed. Parties and gatherings of more than five people at the beach and grove pavilion areas are prohibited, as are recreational pick-up games of any kind, the release said.
The restrooms will be closed due to their size, but portable restrooms and handwashing stations will be available.
