The night life at Salisbury Beach is extremely active during the summer months, with people coming into the beach area to visit the clubs, bar s, amusement park, shops and re staurants. The heaviest nights are typically Friday and Saturday nights. Every Friday night in the summer there is a fireworks display. On the se two night s, e specially, the beach area is packed with people and all available parking is taken. I can look down from my second-floor office and be unable to see the pavement on the sidewalk s because the crowds are so thick. Cn a typical Friday or Saturday night the car s leaving the beach will be bumper-to-bumper until approximately 11:00 p.m., and the traffic can remain heavy until after 1:00 a.m.
