Beachgoers in Los Angeles County may face hefty fines for failing to adhere to local coronavirus restrictions, including wearing masks and social distancing while visiting area beaches during Labor Day weekend.
Officials from the Department of Beaches and Harbors issued rules for L.A. County beaches, which permits basic beach activities, such as sunbathing, fishing, picnicking, and swimming. However, other activities, beach volleyball, organized sports, and large gatherings, for example, are prohibited.
Additionally, beachgoers are required to maintain proper social distancing, keeping a six-foot distance from others, except those within the same household. Everyone above the age of two is required to wear a face-covering when out of the water, per the guidelines, which were last updated September 4, days before Labor Day.
The face-covering requirement coincides with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Healths reopening protocol for public beaches, which states that everyone who visits the beaches must wear a face covering at all times (except while eating or drinking, or while in the water).
Those between the ages of 2 and 8 should use them under adult supervision to ensure that the child can breathe safely and to avoid choking or suffocation, the guidance states. Only individuals who have been instructed not to wear a face covering by their medical provider are exempt from wearing one.
Those who violate the guidelines could face hefty fines, as reported by Deadline:
In Manhattan Beach, for example, people who fail to wear masks can face fines beginning at $100 and ranging up to $350. In Santa Monica, violators could be fined as much as $500.
County Department of Beaches and Harbors officials also emphasized that barbecues and bonfires are prohibited at the beaches and in beach parking lots

Ah! Obviously based on science.
Two if Biden wins.
Who would EVER go to Commie LA County beaches? Right down the way, Newport Beach all the way past San Clemente are open with no hassles. And the beaches there are so much nicer.
LA Gov Garcetti has embraced Petty Tyranny and seems to be really enjoying it.
Salons exempted?
All the beachgoers have to do is walk around like brainless zombies spouting meaningless or wrong phrases and the authorities will think they are BLM. Oh, they’ve got to burn an occasional building and insult any police that are unfortunate enough to be nearby.
Problem solved.
Depends on the customer.
This happened to a guy in Australia who was reported online for “inciting” a protest online:

“... required to wear a face-covering when out of the water,
The virus doesn’t spread outdoors, particularly with the prevailing Westerlies at those beaches. Now, if they go indoors to use a restroom, then yes, they should mask up.
“If I say it’s safe to surf this beach, then it’s safe to surf this beach!”
“Beachgoers in Los Angeles County may face hefty fines..”
They better get at it as the 2020-21 budget spends at least $20 billion more than projected revenues, even including billions of dollars from the states emergency reserve.
They are so broke even MacGyver couldn’t fix them. They need money. Can’t wait for them to liquidate some things like half Dome or the Golden Gate to pay their bills. One hell of a yard sale.

truth
I bet they cops won’t ticket a bum for taking a dump on the beach.
California must have solved all the problems in the world for them to use police to monitor face masks on the beaches. Wow, a true utopia. No crime. No homelessness. No disease.
