As people flock to the shore for some heat relief be advised the rules in Monterey county are stricter than here in Santa Cruz.
Yesterday Carmel issued an order to fine beachgoers 100-dollars for just relaxing on the beach and you must wear a mask. Exercising on the beach is ok but no sunbathing or picnicking.
In pacific grove, face coverings are also required all over town and at the beach… subject to a 100 dollar fine. According to Monterey county administrators, these stricter rules are in affect to prevent the spread of Covid 19.
