NUECES COUNTY, Texas — The beach restrictions that were set to expire on August 1 will be extended, according to Nueces County Judge Barbara Canales.
Restrictions had been in place since July 15 in an effort to decrease the surge in coronavirus cases locally.
Last week, the county completely closed off access to vehicles and pedestrians from July 24 - July 27 as Hurricane Hanna made its way through the Coastal Bend.
Vehicles will not be allowed on the beaches. However, walking is permitted. There will also be a curfew from 8:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.
