Beaches in Orange County were open Friday, with restrictions, and so- called "low-risk" businesses such as clothing and book stores, music shops, toy stores, sporting goods stores and florists — all closed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic — reopened with curbside service only.

Meanwhile, an estimated 1,500 people, most not wearing face masks, protested near the still-closed Huntington Beach Pier on Saturday despite the easing of some beach restrictions.
