'Not your typical summer at the shore.' How to take some of the risk out of going to the beach.

FILE - In this May 24, 2020, file photo, visitors gather on the beach in Newport Beach, Calif., during the coronavirus outbreak. Warm weather beach destinations are the most popular vacation searches, with Florida, Myrtle Beach, San Diego and Key West among the top considerations.

“It is not going to be your typical summer at the shore. Most beaches are going to have restrictions around physical distancing,” said Allison Colman, director of health for the National Recreation and Park Association. State beaches are open for swimming and sunbathing in Connecticut, where officials have urged people to keep 15 feet between blankets, and many parking lots are at reduced capacity. New Jersey’s public beaches also reopened at reduced capacity and some are not selling daily badges.

If you’re downwind from groups of people, even if you’re more than 6 feet apart, respiratory droplets can be blown, putting you at greater risk, said Dr. Shawn Nasseri, a Beverly Hills, California, ear, nose and throat specialist. If the parking lot is full or the beach looks packed, experts advise picking another beach or coming back at off-peak hours like weekday mornings and evenings.

Nivek Divincci has been to Miami Beach a half dozen times since it reopened more than two weeks ago and calls it a natural stress reliever.

“Don’t be in a nursing home and visit a beach.”

Just don’t go. We aren’t going to suffer from not enjoying the beach for one summer. There are buffers things going here people.

Go inland.

Stay in your backyard and turn the hose on...

leave them, we will see A LOT of people going dieing

The Caribbean has the best beaches in the world.

Step one: Use a standard or wide angle lens to take your photographs, instead of an extreme zoom, telephoto or telescopic lens because they make all that carefully maintained social distancing disappear...

Best way is to bloody-well STAY AT HOME ! !

Just protest at the beach. You’ll be fine. The virus knows better.

i think phase 2 is called herd immunity....

Just go...

i'll just not go this year. one summer away from the bitch isn't that big of a deal.

Go and relax. Put some space between you and other households. Enjoy the salt water which is good for you, soak up vitamin D which, so many right now are lacking in and de-stress. Stress lowers immune system.

You couldn’t pay me enough to travel by a COVID19 infused air recycling aluminium tube to a destination that has an over crowded beach. That’s what I call torture

Go. Have fun. Just don’t riot, loot and pillage like the Mob/Democrats.

If you're going to the beach I recommend buying windscreens. You can set up your own safe area.

Where the necessity? That’s what I don’t understand. Going to the beach is not a life or death situation. I use to wonder how Jim Jones got everyone to drink his kool-aid, not any more!

Don't go, plain and simple.

I know, I know! Just this one summer stay the bloody hell home.

Looks like you should avoid going to the beach. At least in Florida - no social distancing and no masks make the beach a great playground for the coronavirus. Then bring it home to granny. Great idea. The US is truly the envy of the world.

Stay TF home

Six flags is open...the safari park.

By not going perhaps? Or by going where there is few people scattered here and there

How: Don't go.

hint: dont go

step one: don't
