• Wave Of Unruly Beach Party Takeovers Threatening Safety And Tranquility Along New England Coast (themainewire.com) — Dennis residents are being warned that large, social-media-driven “beach takeover” parties have caused arrests and violence at other New England beaches, and local police are on alert.
