South Bethany Considers Smoking Beach Restrictions

Don Rush

South Bethany Beach is looking at banning smoking on its beaches.

Currently there are restrictions on smoking along the other beaches on Delmarva.

The town has sent out a survey that asks a number of questions ranging from adopting smoking restrictions and banning alcohol on the beach to a tax increase for improvements along the shore.

WBOC reports that South Bethany Beach would be the last to ban smoking on the shore.            

In 2011 Bethany Beach began the ban which was followed by the rest of the state beaches.
