Revere Beach closed a half-hour after dusk on Saturday. A parking ban also went into place at 6 p.m.

Police said they also made five arrests at Carson Beach in Dorchester after “many visitors to the beach engaged in unruly behavior and disorderly conduct.” The charges included disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, interfering with a police officer and possession of fireworks.

Two of the people arrested were juveniles.
