It shall be unlawful for any person to use or trespass
on any Town beach between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. or
to bathe in said bay inside of the Town without a bathing suit at
any time. For the purposes of this subsection, a bathing suit does
not include what is commonly referred to as a “thong," "g-string,"

of bathing suits by males or females is prohibited on the Town of
North Beach beach within sight of the Town.

It is the intent of this subsection to prevent extensive
picnicking on the beach. It shall be unlawful for any person to bring

lots, or public park) of the Town of North Beach any cooler, beverage
cooler, personal cooler, soft-sided cooler or picnic cooler bag larger
than 16 inches by 16 inches by eight inches or nine quarts in volume.
(This includes large grocery bags or boxes used to carry groceries
and bushels of crabs.) This chapter is not intended to prevent individuals
from bringing food or drink onto the beach (or public areas as identified
above) for limited personal use as stated above and is also not intended
to prevent fishermen from using coolers or containers to carry bait
on legal fishing areas within the Town limits.
