Ladies and gentlemen, we have another crowded beach on our hands! Crowds at an Ontario beach on Monday, August 10, saw a huge lineup of cars backed up on the road leading to the Sandbanks Provincial Park parking lot. 

The official Twitter account for Sandbanks PP urged visitors to be patient, as an early closure of the beach is expected due to the huge crowds. Photos posted at 10:30 a.m. showed a massive queue of vehicles.

This isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened at Sandbanks recently. Cars were lined up, waiting to enter the park just a few weeks ago as well. That, though, was on a weekend, at least.

This comes after weeks of crowded beaches and partiers have caused the province considerable stress.

Mayors of towns all over Ontario have urged residents, especially those from Toronto, to stay home instead of visiting small towns and potentially overwhelming beaches and parks.

The park reached capacity yesterday, August 9, as well, and a video posted to Reddit showed queues on that day, too.
