Santa Cruz County announced Thursday that it will reopen all of its beaches, starting Friday, following a nearly two-month period where they were mostly closed to curb the spread of coronavirus.

Santa Cruz County is believed to be the last of California’s 15 coastal counties to reopen its beaches. The main reason for the shift, said Santa Cruz County Public Health Officer Dr. Gail Newel, was because the public was overwhelmingly ignoring the restrictions.
