Newsom said recent beach crowds in Ventura and Orange counties are an example of"what not to do" if the state wants to continue its progress fighting the virus.
In Newport Beach, some 80,000 visitors hit the beach over the weekend, although lifeguards said most people exercised social distancing. With criticism swirling, the Newport Beach City Council met Tuesday and rejected a proposal to close the beaches for the next three weekends. Six San Francisco Bay Area counties that imposed the first broad stay-at-home orders in California because of the coronavirus loosened them — slightly — for the first time Wednesday, joining a growing list of local governments that are cracking the door to a less-restrictive life.
“I want to remind everyone that we must all abide by all the local health orders and the state health orders. That means whichever is stricter, in some cases that is the state order,” Santa Clara County legal counsel James Williams said. “It is important that we adhere to the stricter of both.” The changes in local orders reflect the growing unrest among some residents and government officials over Newsom’s order and his plan for a slow and methodical reopening of the nation’s most populous state even as other states such as Florida move much more quickly.
“It won’t be on the basis of pressure, it won’t be on the basis of what we want, but what we need to do,” Newsom said. “And what we need to do from my humble perspective is listen to the public health experts.”
that photo looks like Ocean Park in Santa Monica, not Newport Beach 🤔
This is not how the Covid-19 will going leave , people have to stay home to protect themselves and others. StayHome everyone's
I thought it was changed to only Orange County beaches closed
Cali people arent that bright. Couldnt take care of it themselves. They need to, and like to, be told what to do.

Why did the governor change his Twitter banner
Normandy! Gentlemen, ladies, I remind you we can storm the beaches from the Pacific! Covid19bedamned!
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE A LONG TIME AGO
Why did they wait this late? COVID19
Are they social distancing on skid row or the in the LA river yet? Is he going to start rounding up the homeless ?
About time, maybe too late... Stupid coasties
Funny how this has triggered the “law is the law” crowd.
May 15th is not that far away. Just stay away from beaches so we can begin reopening. It's two weeks! Stay the course 😂🤦👍
I’m surprised it took this long for Gov. Gavin Newsome to close the beaches considering the weekly reports of overcrowding and no one social distancing. The only question: how long will they remain closed? coronavirus covid19

Rise up people and march to your beaches! Do not wear masks and gloves! Our leader said to liberate the states so we shall. And our other leader didn’t wear mask at Mayo Clinic, so we won’t wear masks and gloves anymore! We will not be enslaved! There are more of us! MAGA2020!
So proud of the way our Governor is handling this crisis! Smart, Measured, Humane, Compassionate! Good job GavinNewsom
