I couldn't get the link to work. My favorite beach is Clearwater Beach in Florida. I hope that it's not on the list.

@amadeo They won't be going into the lakes, they will have to either go to pools or wait until the ban is lifted.

Why do these beaches exist? Does the government do nothing for them? Are these beaches private or public?

Here in Oregon, we have what look like clean beaches but this summer we have been getting numerous reports of fecal matter in the water. I know that it has been the habit of municipalities to put a line in from the sewage plant and pump that stuff out about a mile or so and dump it in the ocean. It is no wonder that it washes back in when the winds come just right. I think it is a disgusting practice and that we should find solutions on land instead.
