Sandy parking lot gets a cleaning.

 

But for the sailboats on stands you might have had a hard time telling where the beach ended and the parking lot began at Fisherman's Beach last week.

A series of winter storms left sand piled over the boat ramp and thoughout the parking lot.

DPW crews descended on the mess Friday, pushing and scooping piles and blowing away the loose stuff. 

The pre-spring clean-up opened up the lot for traffic and parking, preparing the popular summer destination for boating, swimming, fishing and tanning to come.
