HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Hallandale Beach initially announced that it was taking Broward County up on its offer to have municipalities impose their own stricter guidelines than what is contained in the county’s latest emergency orders regarding beach use in Phase One reopening plans.
Hallandale Beach will still limit the use of its beach when it reopens with the rest of Broward County coastal cities on Tuesday, May 26. The city initially announced that “entering the water will not be allowed” during this phase of the reopening and that the beach would only be open from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. daily. On Monday, however, the city changed course and said wading and swimming would be permitted. Walking, jogging and running are also permitted.
