Laguna Beach opts to close city beaches, Huntington Beach to keep them open, as Newport Beach officials wait to decide if they will follow Los Angeles County’s lead in shutting down for the Fourth of July weekend because of a spike in coronavirus cases.
Newport officials had earlier planned to go ahead with full access for the traditionally peak weekend, expecting an influx beyond even the typical Fourth of July crush as displaced L.A. beachgoers look for the next-closest sand and surf. They expected to have about 60 staffers on duty, with the flexibility to call in reinforcements if the turnout demanded it.
“In the sailing, boating world you become really aware of the tides, and they seem to always be running with you or against you. It’s really important to understand which way the tides are going,” Mayor Pro Tem Brad Avery said. “The tide’s definitely running against us on this.”

I told those lifeguards not to fool around with those working girls from Tijuana
and in other news, west hollywood body rub parlours are offering hott oil massages but you have to wear a mask and you must be wrapped in cellophane from head to toe..tipping is optional!!!
Stop making out with lifeguards! Gosh!
Maybe if everyone held up Black Lives Matter signs and set fire to some police cars, that would magically end any danger. You are hypocritical turds.
SURE they did 🙄
8.7% positive in OC, 354 deaths = 0.13% mortality rate. Any govt official locking down for a 0.13% problem is either stupid or a tyrant or both. Pure politics.
No problem. There are hundreds of underground house parties with live DJs. 300 plus and all you can drink. Check FB and Instagram for postings. They will disclose location hour before. Everyone welcome and security at door.
Enjoy your independence. You all deserve this because you voted for it.
Just protest the beach all is forgotten
But this was totally fine.
bUt oPeN tHe BeAcHEs 🤪
Yes
idiocy from MayorOfLA and GavinNewsom its ok to burn down cities,riot, loot,mayhem and murder and PD you need to stand down!We need you to be available to arrest the grandparents,children and parents that go to a beach!Oh the same folks who are taxed into oblivion for this shit
Bring your protesting signs and sit on the beach, obviously you can do that or run rampid in the streets for BLM but can't celebrate our independence day, bullshit!!!
So can we riot & protest at the beach?
Yeh... suuuure they did.
Idiots
Dude. Bummer. Rioting is still on though. Right?
Time to investigate these 2 'Americans' who owe much of their wealth to China!
If you can riot and protest without getting Covid19 infected, then you should be allowed to lay on beach in sunshine.
so get a few new life guards!! WTF
Well of course they are, weird how all of the sudden!
Ridiculous
How convenient.
Why? No science!!
TRUMPiCANS 🇺🇸
Dozens shot every weekend in Chicago. Please close shit hole city!!
BOLONEY
If BLM had a planned protest they wouldn’t have closed....
To the people: Go anyway. They can’t stop you.
THATS JUST STRAIGHT BS.
I don’t see the correlation
Does that include rioting? Doubt it!!
So probably the safest public spaces in the world - the beaches, where there is plenty of space, fresh air, and salt water - are off limits?
Fricken liars
Absurd.
Meanwhile 🤦🏻♀️
All political.
These same lifeguards may have the sniffles and nothing more. Death rate for those under 70 is now .00112%. There is NO data to support doing this. Corona is an INSIDE disease. ASSHOLES AND SHEEP.
LA times leftists socialist commie newspaper. I don't believe nothing coming from this fake news media.
THIS IS DELUSIONAL, IRRATIONAL, UNAMERICAN HORSESHIT AND A POLITICAL FRAUD.
Who is writing 2020?
Foolish Newsome. Needs to be recalled.
Meanwhile in the latest anti cop news, here’s another mass gathering protest
Just go out there and say you’re protesting climate change
Is Huntington the only place to go now?
God these people in charge are the stupidest people we could possibly find
Seriously stupid ...
So hire new lifeguards.
You people are literally psychotic..
Just go on about your business people.
The people who protested to keep their beaches open in OC are terrible now lifeguards have the virus
Good people including the president don't listen to the science.
Peaceful protests on the beach it is then👍 🇺🇸
I’ll Newport Beach protesting this....there....it’s open again
Only after lifeguards test positive? Fu€king OC republicans are ignorant a$$holes.
WTFark
We will still be there.
Keep it Closed until further notice, not going to be a repeat like the one on April, you are next Huntington Beach.
perfect timing, huh?
Covid, or maybe the antibodies of the common cold.😏
Name those 4 sick lifeguards? What hospital did they go to? Where are their test results? You're lying | Stop the bullsh* Heres the truth people wake up
STOP FREAKING REPORTING LIES AND FAKE NUMBERS! STOP BEING DEEP STATE CONTROLLED!!!! WE are the news now!!
Bullshit
Has anybody verified that lifeguards at Newport contracted Covid?
why were they open in the first place
Then bring in new lifeguards
But this is okay right
This is bullshit, how are you gonna close to beaches on the biggest beach holiday of the year? I get that they tested positive but 99% of the people at the beach when I was there on Sunday/Monday were way more than 6ft apart.
The citizens of Newport Beach gonna believe that LIE !! .... PEOPLE ARE BEING PAID TO LIE !!
So they obviously aren’t on the job! Why close the beach?
BLM protest on the beach July 4th since it seems to keep away the covid
Please consider sharing this with your friends in hopes that somebody may have extra funds that can help Josue out. Truth is we all know somebody who knows p, either with money or positions of influence that can offer the needed love and support.
2 lifeguards test positive for Covid and an entire beach front is closed down? Who the heck is in charge here?
Whatever! Let intelligent people make their own choices!
aelampkin Simply remove the ill, not everyone. Sledgehammer to crack a nut
- False positives. - Multiple and repeated tests of the same individuals counted as distinct cases. - Antibody testing for previous versions of Corona or those reinfected count toward cumulative case numbers. This is politicized fraud.
I say people go anyway!
Lmfao.1000s of people will storm the beach. Cant stop our constitutional rights.
Lemme guess, mostly asymptotic because they are young and fit. I know....just wait 2 weeks
lol...they're upping the game... the lifeguards!
If it was sunny even for a few hours, heat and sunlight killed that virus dead. Or do they mean they don't have other lifeguards?
California going to be in trouble next year. No tax revenue...from Gas,car purchases,tourism and bars.
Such bullshit
That's a big lie
What a coincidence
Paying attention? CityofPismo CountyofSLO SLOPublicHealth CAgovernor
Remember its only fatal if you have a compromised immune system... Or are a trump supporter. Riote- Protesters are immune.
The lifeguards tested positive. Geez
I guess now we are only going to close beaches when someone has Corona. These places shouldn’t be open at all period. We are barely getting out of this difficult time and yet we are fast forwarding as if nothing ever happend..
sacrificing the workers for the rich to frolic, the american way
KarinaIvetteC
I'm a 'peaceful protestor' so I'm ok to go wherever I want. 😆
Shocking
No one saw this coming, right? RIGHT?
Shut it all down this is no joke people will die
Newport Beach is the reason why California broke out again!
I don’t believe it. And if this is true they sure as hell didn’t catch it at the beach. Sunlight kills the Covid in 37 seconds.
Good! Sick of these maskless people spreading their germs around spreading it.
Family driving 8 hours to Newport Beach
Definitely a bummer and I get it but now everyone will probably flock to the nearest local beach as they did before
Sure they are!
TRUMPiCANS 🇺🇸
COVID19 WearAMask StayHome
As Bubba Sparxxx informed us, 'don't worry about the law. They can't arrest us all.' Gotten away from 100% of keggers and house parties broken up by cops 😎✌🏻🏃🏼♂️
Wow. Closing an entire beach because two lifeguards got the virus. Wow.
Good. Orange County has been ridiculous.
California Crazy....
Ask them if they were in any recent demonstrations
