• Can you drink alcohol at Connecticut beaches and parks? (thehour.com) — If you plan to drink at Westport’s Compo Beach, you’re limited to the South Beach picnic area unless you secure a written permit from Parks and Recreation. Kegs and containers over one liter are banned there and at the town’s other public beaches. The piece also compares Westport’s rules with alcohol policies at other Connecticut beaches and state parks.
