Late yesterday evening, County Mayor Carlos Gimenez announced he will be signing an emergency order today to close all of the beaches in Miami-Dade County starting Friday, July 3, and ending Tuesday, July 7.

The closure may be extended if conditions do not improve and people do not follow "New Normal" rules requiring masks to be worn always inside commercial establishments and outdoors when social distancing of at least 6 feet is not possible. 

With the recent surge of COVID-19 cases and increasing hospitalizations throughout the State of Florida, the city urges you to wear a mask, practice social distancing and wash your hands regularly .
