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.

I guess it would be a form of trolling.

Imagine if that mess, Gillium, had one.
Well, if Gillium had been elected, the minimum distance would be 6 inches, because, well, you know what they say about black guys....

Great news for Jacksonville... How can you fish while moving? I guess that means you are fishing on your boat... Yes...

DeSantis was good but was crushed by the press after the photos of that spring break/gay rave on Miami Beach.

This may give him more courage. I know he called our mayor last night and told him to start opening up.

That sounds really good! Haven’t had alcohol except for wine for several years (would rather spend money and calories on other things), but I could give this a try.
