North Florida beaches among 1st to reopen since closures
Some north Florida beaches are opening starting Friday, becoming among the first beaches to reopen in the state since coronavirus concerns forced beachgoers away.
Mayor Lenny Curry said Duval County's beaches are reopening Friday afternoon with restricted hours, and they can only be used for walking, biking, hiking, fishing, running, swimming and surfing.
The beaches will be open between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Gatherings of 50 or more people are prohibited and people must still practice social distancing.
Florida officials were criticized for leaving beaches open during spring break last month. Most counties closed their beaches in response.
