Old Orchard Beach Camps and Prohibition Attitudes
A coastal sketch notes Old Orchard Beach in midsummer with hotels crowded by transient visitors, mainly from Maine and nearby states, and a near absence of European looks. Prohibition and Sunday rules shape street food, beer and whiskey availability. Camp meeting grounds host Methodists, Adventists, Salvation Army and Christian Alliance events with a Coast Guard-like keeper overseeing decorum. Ocean Park near by hosts Baptist campgrounds under the same seasonal use.
