Westport’s “Unofficial Start of Summer” Begins
Visitors to Compo Beach would be hard pressed to find empty space for their beach chairs and towels as the sand was dotted with sunbathers and water lovers this afternoon. Most of the beach’s parking lots were nearly full by early afternoon as many trudged their way to the shore with all of the sand toys and umbrellas in-tow. As the unofficial start to the summer season, Westport lifeguards will remain on duty through Labor Day until 6:00 PM daily as the beach season gets underway.
