Unfortunately, people immediately flocked to the beach as soon as it was opened and it didn’t seem they were practicing much social distancing.

On Jacksonville opening beaches w “strict” restrictions: people aren’t adhering & this ISN’T social distancing. Restrictions aren’t being enforced. For context, these pics were taken in a normally non-busy area of the beach. We are WEEKS away from the peak—please be responsible. pic.twitter.com/LyZ5a9BW7W
