It gets complicated. Some beaches are county, some are individual town beaches. Some are state. My friend is a lifeguard. He was telling me about open beaches with closed parking lots which means people were parking all over the streets. Fights were breaking out over parking.

Some of the beach areas here are known as being a hangout for people from East County, Others attract gangbangers (or at least want-to-be gangbangers) from the South County. Both groups were out in force this past weekend per my friend.

There was a protest in PB where a good chunk of the people were from the Temecula area. The “news” about these protests are circulating on social media and attracting any and all nutjobs from the region to descend on the beach.

Opening beaches in the middle of stay at home guidance was a disaster waiting to happen.
