A message from The City of San Diego!

Starting today, Monday, April 27, 2020, the City of San Diego will allow beach access for walking and running, as well as entering or exiting the water for surfing, swimming, paddling and kayaking.

Parking lots will remain closed, boardwalks will remain closed and gatherings will remain prohibited. The rules must be followed for these locations to remain open. The county has not yet seen a downward trend as the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases has passed the 3,000 mark, so it is important to follow social distancing rules and recommendations.
