The carousel will also be open on weekends until school vacation week, and every day of that week, April 19 to 27.
First there was one opening and now there are two at Norton Point Beach.
The second, closer to the Chappaquiddick side, occurred on the weekend of March 8 and 9 during the height of a windy storm.
Between the two openings, there is a 150-yard little island. It already has the name Charlie’s Island.
“You’ve heard of Gilligan’s Island. This is Charlie’s Island,” said Chris Kennedy of The Trustees of Reservations.
