When I left in '10 city parks in Norfolk were still somehow now covered due to preUFA law. I can't find the exact statement to that effect. Or I may be wrong. All they have is this now- bold is mine

No alcoholic beverages, littering, glass containers, loud music, illegal weapons, obscene behavior, nudity, or open fires (grilling) permitted on the beach at any time. Grilling is allowed on the grass areas of both Community and Sarah Constant Park Beaches
