Tens of thousands of people congregated at beaches in Southern California this weekend amid a heat wave and pandemic, with many ignoring the state and White House's guidelines on social distancing.
Crowds of beachgoers and surfers flocked to the Huntington Beach coast over the weekend as hot weather descended over the region. While officials urged people to adhere to social distancing measures,and various photos shared online indicated that many were less than six feet apart and not wearing face masks or coverings.
Beaches remain closed and empty in Los Angeles County and local officials have requested their citizens refrain from driving to other counties with eased stay-at-home restrictions for sunbathing and beach time. Ventura County also opened its beaches for the first time since the state went into lockdown, but those who visit a beach in the area must keep moving through and aren't allowed to sunbathe or lounge.
Is this an actual picture of a California beach this weekend, or a just a stock crowded beach photo? Hard to trust media outlet photos these days.
