A nautical theme is punctuated just about everywhere: A sign at Jarvis Hall announces simply, “BEACH,” with an arrow pointing east. The dais where elected officials conduct public meetings is strewn with nautical rope. Although the attraction is the beach, the town has no lifeguards; that is where the volunteer firefighters come in. The department staffs a minimum of three volunteer firefighters and a driver each day. When more firefighters are available — those who qualify — patrol the beach, Hopping said.
