BETHANY BEACH, Del. – The Town of Bethany Beach has decided to close their beaches to the public amidst blustery conditions impacting much of the peninsula.

In a post to social media on Thursday afternoon, the Town said the beaches would be closed through Monday, Sept. 28 at noon, at which time they would reassess beach conditions. Town officials urge residents and visitors to not attempt to walk or drive through any flooded areas.

The Bethany Beach Police Department said parts of the town were already experiencing flooding from the developing Nor’easter. Conditions are expected to worsen through the weekend, with a potential for rain, high wind speeds, and coastal flooding.
