The beach closure order only applies to PUBLIC beaches. Private beaches are exempt and it is up to the owner (who has title to the beach property) to decide whether they are open or not. The double red flag only applies to keeping people out of the Gulf but they have every right to be on the Private beach. The private beach owners, from what I have seen, are still enforcing "social distancing" on the beach (6 feet between beach setups, etc.).
I dont have a problem with that private beach being used by the homeowner..but when they dont even live here and are renting it out to a party of 25 from where ever...then I have a problem with it.

Apparently, TP, wipes, beer (not Corona brand) and bacon is all a person really needs to be prepared for the apocalypse.
Well, I don't know about bacon, but pizza, peanut butter, and Idyl Hounds is still plentiful.

While all the folks on 30 A were in a panic to close the beaches and get those spring breakers out of here, no one considered all the folks who have second homes (most of them considered elderly) who are bugging out of cities all over the US and coming here. This is happening to small resort towns .


Example:
From Twitter: Sun Valley, Idaho: A bunch of rich people from LA and Seattle fled/flew up to their vacation homes in Sun Valle, Idaho

now that county has more confirmed cases than the rest of the state combined, despite being the most isolated and rural

There is one ICU bed in that town’

Hampton: rich NYC residents piling into Hamptons consuming resources, emptying grocery stores. https://t.co/RkcGhRy7S2?amp=1

This is happening in Walton County daily.
