Know the rules: Pinellas County beaches reopen Monday

Keep the fun in the sun by knowing and adhering to the rules in Pinellas County.

Pinellas County beaches reopen this Monday, and while most of us can’t wait to dip our toes in the sand and cool Gulf water...there are some basic tips you must keep in mind. 

For starters, practicing social distancing is crucial now more than ever. To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, it is still required to maintain groups of less than 10 people and to keep at least six feet of distance between one another. 

There will be social distancing signs placed at beach entrances and on certain areas of the beach so that "people are reminded constantly."

Guidance from the CDC can be found here.
