Mayor Kevin Faulconer said lifeguards and police officers were out in force, prepared to educate residents about what is and isn’t allowed — but it was largely unnecessary.
Most San Diego residents who took advantage of the newly reopened beaches on Monday were careful to follow the rules, prompting a “thank you” from Mayor Kevin Faulconer.The mayor said lifeguards and police officers were out in force, prepared to educate residents about what is and isn’t allowed — but it was largely unnecessary.
Lifeguard Chief James Gartland said that while the water was crowded during the early morning, it thinned out as the day progressed. Although most people followed the rules, he added that there were some “trouble spots” on boardwalks and at pocket beaches.“The stay-at-home order is still in place,” Gartland said. “The [beach] access is for you to come down, walk, run, surf, swim — get your exercise — and then head back home.
But when county officials lifted those restrictions, some cities in the county chose to keep their beaches closed. Faulconer said many cities were ready to invite their residents back to the beach on Monday, and he stressed how important it was to have a single set of regulations to guide those reopenings.
