Crown Memorial Beach Open In Alameda
The 4th of July is expected to be busy at Crown Beach. Social distancing is still expected.

ALAMEDA, CA — With temperatures predicted to rise to the high 70s, the 4th of July is shaping up to be a perfect beach day. One of the most popular beaches in the East Bay, Crown Memorial State Beach in Alameda, will be open.
Although it is a state beach, it is operated by the East Bay Regional Park District, which plans to leave it open all weekend.
Some rules remain the same — no alcohol, no fireworks, and no dogs. And a nod to coronavirus — remain at least 6 feet away from people who are not in your group and wear masks when necessary.

The Crab Cove Visitor Center is closed, and the McKay Parking Lot is closed, so you'll need to walk in. Restoration continues at the Elsie Roemer Bird Sanctuary, so it remains off limits.
Happy 4th of July from Patch. Enjoy!
