Beaches, Parks And Trails Reopen In Carlsbad

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — All beaches reopened Monday in Carlsbad after beaches were closed amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The city controls about three-quarters of a mile of beach, north of Oak Avenue to the Oceanside border, while State Parks owns and manages the other six miles of Carlsbad's coastline. The two entities worked together to open both the city and state beaches.

City and state beaches in Del Mar, Solana Beach and Torrey Pines also reopened Monday.

Beachgoers were allowed to walk and run on the sand, as well as swim, surf, kayak and paddleboard in the ocean. Group gatherings and sitting and lying down on the beach remained prohibited. Parking lots also remained closed.
