Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is allowing some beaches in northern Florida
to reopen, The Associated Press reported on Friday, even though the
state has continued to see an increase in coronavirus cases.

As of Friday, Florida had reported over 24,000 cases of the virus and
nearly 700 deaths.

DeSantis, who initially left it up to local officials to close their
beaches and other establishments, said at a news conference on Friday
that some counties could start reopening their beaches if they wanted,
adding that it was important for people to get fresh air, the AP reported.

"Do it in a good way," DeSantis said. "Do it in a safe way."

As long as social distancing is done, what is different than going out to
walk the neighborhood?

Harry thinks going to the beach is taking the train out to Fire
Island. I doubt he has ever seen a beach without people laying on
overlapping blankets.

Where do you get these absurd ideas? I've never been to Fire Island or
Coney Island, and I've rarely even been out to Long Island. We had
beautiful, uncrowded beaches where we summered in the New Haven area.

These beaches:

I've been up and down the Connecticut shore more times than I can
count and for my money the only beach worth mentioning is the one at
Hammonhasset.

However like all Long Island Sound beaches it lacks ocean surf. For
that you need to go to the south shore of Long Island or eastward to
Rhode Island and Massachussets.


I was surprised at how cheap beach front houses are in Milford. What
is the problem there? When I looked at the top hit on google for Villa
Rosa, the private beach Harry linked and it was Zillow for a 2888
sq/ft house right on the beach for $373k.

That lot would be $500k here without a house. Tear downs on the Estero
river sell for more than that. Six years ago a guy paid $549k for one
and tore the house down.
