Wind Alert

July 1st, All umbrellas are left in the ‘closed/down’ position due to higher winds. Winds at 7:30 were measured on the strand at 15 mph. steady and the continued forecast is for increasing winds by noon. Please do NOT attempt to open umbrellas yourself. We left them closed due to our insurance requirements and beach/equipment safety. Trust me, there is an art to opening them up and if you try and open them, you run a high risk of it coming out of the ground and flying away and possibly injuring someone or breaking the umbrella. Nature throws us some curveballs on occasion and we have to work with it. Umbrellas are made for shade and some winds but if the winds increase to 20 and over that triggers a ‘beach equipment removal’ of items as per our policy and insurance requirements. You wouldn’t enjoy 20 plus mph winds anyway as that’s when sand starts to blow. We do have a strong potential for storms tomorrow and we will be making a decision in the morning based on how the weather is looking. We will advise you as soon as we know.
