Coconut Telegraph

In continued efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our community, and in alignment with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, Sarasota County will close county operated public beaches at 6 am. Saturday, March 21. Lifeguards will remain on duty at the beaches between 10 am and 4:45 p.m. daily in order to ensure the safety of those who continue to visit the beaches. A double red flag, indicating no swimming, will be flying from lifeguard stands. As a reminder, all Sarasota County libraries will remain closed through April 12 and indoor facilities operated by Sarasota County Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources have been closed to the public.
