Beach parking at issue in Surry SURRY — Beachcombers, saltwater swimmers and residents were alarmed to see a public parking sign covered at the Carrying Place beach off Newbury Neck Road last week and the parking area barricaded. The lot, used as public parking for decades, is actually on private property. Selectman Eric Treworgy explained that the landowners have put the property on the market. “The owner did not know it was being used as a parking lot and asked that the parking signs be covered and access blocked due to concerns about liability,” Treworgy said. “In the meantime, the beach is still open and accessible, it is just that folks cannot use that parking lot.”
