L.A. County beaches reopened for "active use" on Wednesday. So, did visitors follow the rules?
The verdict: Venice was much more crowded today than Wednesday (not surprisingly). A lot of visitors were sunbathing on the sand, which is expressly not allowed. Some people chose to skirt the rules by sunbathing on the grass, near the sand.
The good news? Everyone looked like they had enough room to socially distance.
Here are some photos of the scene in Venice and Santa Monica.
