Mayor Paul Kanitra said there was a large unannounced party on the beach between 7 and 9 p.m. and in boardwalk area, calling it "a clear violation of social distancing requirements."

"As a result of this situation, law enforcement personnel have been called in from neighboring towns to ensure a calm and orderly dispersement of the crowd," he said.

At 9 p.m., Kanitra said he anticipated "a full resolution over the next few hours."

"To quell unfounded rumors, there have so far been no arrests made and no protests ongoing," he said.

On Tuesday night, police asked people to stay away from the boardwalk as law enforcement addressed the situation.

Here is a video of the situation:

Witnesses said they saw police heading to the boardwalk, and there were people dancing.

Residents called for others to go the beach on Wednesday and pick up what was left behind.
