The beaches and parks will reopen at 5 PM on Saturday.

The beaches will be open for hiking, running, swimming, taking care of pets and surfing.

Not real freedom.

On Friday the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners announced that county beaches are now open from 6 a.m. to noon, seven days a week.

In a press release, commissioners note that the beaches should only be used for activities that include physical activity and motion include walking, running, exercise, surfing, biking, fishing, swimming, surfing, and others.

“Walk to exercise not to socialize,” said Dawn C. Allicock, Director and Health Officer of Florida Department of Health in St. Johns County. “As long as individuals adhere to the CDC guidelines of social distancing, getting exercise and fresh air can be beneficial for our citizens’ physical and mental health.”

Group sports, sunbathing and sitting, and other group activities are not permitted. In addition, items not allowed on the beach include blankets, chairs, coolers, umbrellas, tents, and any item that promotes a stationary presence.

The county says beach visitors must continue to adhere to CDC social distancing guidelines, including limiting gatherings to no more than ten persons and distancing themselves from other parties by a minimum of six feet.

All public parking lots are now open; however on-beach driving remains prohibited.

Pretty easy to keep 6+ feet apart (from strangers) on a beach that’s 100 yards wide X the length of Florida long.

And with the fresh sea breeze, it’s WAY safer than 6’ apart in a store or office.

I thought you would be all panicked today with the report that the virus is spread through farts.

It took a call from Gov. DeSantis...many people had complained about Mayor Lenny Curry closing the beaches. DeSantis also has to look at St. John’s County, a prissy liberal haven, where they have shut down beaches and everything on a totally irrational basis.

I am sick, not with COVID, but sick to death of these sanctimonious a******s who act like they're doing us a favor by telling us what we're "allowed" to do.

You can fish but can’t sit or stand still? WTH?

I want all elected officials - ALL of them - to take an IQ test and publish the result.

IQ TEST ALL ELECTED POSITIONS.

Yep, and the Rats have a vested interest in making sure that any states that do open up, get an uptick in cases, if you catch what I’m getting at.

Additionally, active people hiking, swimming, surfing, etc, have very low risk of getting sick. They just need to use care if they interact with people who ARE at risk.
