Officials Urge Social Distancing as Large Crowds Reported at Jersey Shore

An all-day timelapse video shows throngs of people at the beach and boardwalk in Ocean City, New Jersey, on Sunday, July 12, as local media reported crowding at area beaches over the weekend.

NJ.com reported authorities in Long Branch restricted access to beach areas due to crowding, and despite the governor’s orders mandating social distancing and the wearing of masks, many were seen observing neither.
