Staff Report

Surf, Wall and Minuteman beaches will open Saturday, Sept. 16, to beachgoers.

Beach restrictions are enforced annually on all three beaches normally through Sept. 30 to protect the Western Snowy Plover, however all Plover chicks have fledged effective Sept. 14, so per the Biological Opinion and with concurrence of the 30th Space Wing Commander, all beaches will be re-opened and boundary fences and signs removed.

  • No beach fires
  • No fireworks
