Newport Beach will close beaches for July 4 after lifeguards test positive for coronavirus
Laguna Beach opts to close city beaches, Huntington Beach to keep them open, as Newport Beach officials wait to decide if they will follow Los Angeles County’s lead in shutting down for the Fourth of July weekend because of a spike in coronavirus cases.
Newport officials had earlier planned to go ahead with full access for the traditionally peak weekend, expecting an influx beyond even the typical Fourth of July crush as displaced L.A. beachgoers look for the next-closest sand and surf. They expected to have about 60 staffers on duty, with the flexibility to call in reinforcements if the turnout demanded it.
The oceanfront, especially on Balboa Peninsula, is packed with bars, pubs and eateries. Many customers would be able to order takeout but would potentially be pushed to the adjacent sand to wait or eat, crowding the beach even more. “In the sailing, boating world you become really aware of the tides, and they seem to always be running with you or against you. It’s really important to understand which way the tides are going,” Mayor Pro Tem Brad Avery said. “The tide’s definitely running against us on this.”Updates with Huntington Beach also shutting down beaches, more information.
