Dennis Board of Selectmen & Finance Committee Older citizens should not be out in the sun so they enjoy the beach in the morning. He expressed concerns for traffic patterns and people directing traffic. Dustin Pineau, Beach Director, shared that his staff was there from 7am to Spm. By having staff there, he can have them assist with traffic. All gates in Town except for West Dennis are closed at 9pm.
