The Newport Beach City Council rejected a measure that would have closed its beaches for three consecutive weekends in May.
Bicyclists ride past mostly closed businesses on Tuesday. Any visitors to the city’s beaches will see an increased presence of police officers and lifeguards, and the council supported citing anyone who doesn’t follow the social distancing order.
Rusty Renk, standing, was among those at a special meeting by the Newport Beach City Council. The council advised city staff to maintain beach access with additional enforcement of social distancing. The council action followed a busy weekend in Newport Beach as thousands of visitors sought to escape the Southern California heatwave. Pictured is an aerial view Tuesday. The city said in its news release that it “will continue to communicate the critical importance of responsible social distancing and adherence to the governor’s ‘stay at home’ order during the upcoming weekends.”
