Law enforcement and rescue personnel will patrol beaches throughout the weekend. The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, the St. Augustine Beach Police Department and St. Johns County Marine Rescue personnel will be on duty. Marine Rescue lifeguards will be stationed along the beaches from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and beach flags indicating water and surf conditions will be displayed.
The county cautioned that the absence of a flag does not mean there is no danger and urged beachgoers to consult a staffed lifeguard tower for local conditions.
On-beach driving will be allowed between 8 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Vehicles must remain in designated driving lanes, and driving conditions can change throughout the day at each access point, St. Johns County Beach Services said.
Beach visitors are encouraged to monitor daily updates on driving and access conditions by following @SJCBeaches on Facebook and X and by downloading the SJC Connect mobile app. Information is also available on the St. Johns County website under the Beach Services section.
