Gavin Newsom closed Orange County beaches last week but most were reopened this week. Many Orange County beaches are open for active recreation — think running, walking, biking, swimming and surfing — rather than sitting around and soaking up the sun. The town, which has been a hotbed of dissent amid the stay-at-home restrictions, is moving forward with a lawsuit against the state over Newsom’s temporary closure of county beaches last week. Those limits are to be gradually lifted in phases, and details are still to be determined by county public health officials. The county’s public health and emergency services director planned to sign the amended and rescinded orders Saturday.
