California Beach Closures Due to COVID-19

On Friday, March 27th, 2020, Los Angeles County shut down its beaches in an effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Beaches across the state had started shutting down on Monday after a sunny weekend saw thousands flock to the sand. Yesterday, a Manhattan Beach surfer was fined $1,000 after ignoring a lifeguard’s orders to not paddle out.
