I called to find out their opening status.
You can walk on the beach, you can't sit on the beach.
Going off trails to sun in the dunes has always been frowned upon strongly.
I'm thinking my best bet might be Hosah Park, just between the state property and the old nuke plant. They've lost almost all their beach though.
How come you can't sit on the beach?
Virus transmission is tired to prolonged exposure. If you keep moving you're unlikely to pass or receive sufficient virus. So sitting, picnicking, etc are banned in many places. But especially away from the main beach, there's enough space that it shouldn't be a problem.
Made it out there last Saturday. They are no longer banning sitting on the beach.
Beach damage in the north unit continues, there's nothing left in places, the bike trail is less than 20ft from the water in spots with if 27th street. The south unit nature area is in pretty good shape, but the paved path north of the main lot has been washed out.
Unfortunately, the biting flies were out in force. You really couldn't stand still. A few folks came, sat, and went while I hiked. There's evidence of rangers' tire tracks at the south end, probably keeping people north of the Dead River during plover nesting season.
Give it a week or two, or look for days with wind from the east, to avoid the flies.
