Block Island to Ban Closed Containers of Alcohol on Beaches
Police Chief Vincent Carlone was on hand Wednesday night to help shepherd the Town Council’s adoption of a law banning alcohol from Block Island beaches—be it in open or closed containers.
The town already has a law prohibiting open containers in all public places, including beaches; the council has now voted to add language making it “unlawful to possess, carry or by any means convey in closed containers of any description alcoholic beverages on all public beaches in the town.”
The law will be presented for a public hearing on June 4.
