Below you will find the key points in favor of opening our beaches and why it makes sense and is safe to do so;  By keeping our pier and parking lots closed, there will be no room for out of town people to park therefore they will not flock here.  Take Huntington Beach and Newport Beach for example. They never closed their beaches, but kept their parking and pier closed. Social distancing has not been an issue there and they are both much larger attractions then Seal Beach.  Given how many people are out of work and not at school, there has been a substantial increase in how many people are outside walking and getting fresh air. By not having the beaches available, the only areas we are able to be on have become crowded and not able to safely social distance on.  If our beaches are opened, we don’t need to announce it, just simply take down the signs or just post in the locals only facebook page.  With the increase in temperatures, more people are going to want to be outside.  Fresh air and sunlight are ESSENTIAL for our immune systems and mental health  Florida has opened all of their beaches and people are still social distancing  It is no more dangerous to be at a grocery store or getting food to go where workers are touching your food, then it is to be outside in a wide open area, social distancing. It is essential for so many reasons to open our beaches. The residents of Seal Beach NEED this space to be outside during these hard and trying times. Please please please consider.
