PHOTO-ESSAY. Big changes this 4th of Jul, 2020. City Council and staff coordinated with State Park Beaches. You will see City Staff at Kelly and Poplar . politely explaining the closures. Their signage is ubiquitous.
You can cross the beach to get into the water, as they allow in Hawaii, but you can not sit on the beach.
