    BETTERTON — Approximately 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the Health Department shut down Betterton Beach due to a sewage leak from one of the pump stations.

    The beach has been posted with signage warning “no swimming.”

    Wednesday afternoon after the announcement, the beach was near empty, a stark difference after having almost 1,000 people in attendance over July 4th.

    The numbers of visitors to Betterton Beach during the summer are usually close to 400 on non-holiday weekends.

    Any questions about the incident can be referred to the Health Department at 410-778-1350.
