People can be seen playing catch, swimming and even renting Jet-ski s. SGI rentals, who rents out the wave runners says they haven t been this busy in years.
But With packed beaches, it s still important to realize that COVID-19 is still a threat around Florida. In Franklin County, there have been 20 deaths related to COVID-19 since last year, but in Leon County, where a lot of the people who came to St. George Island are from, there have been 329 deaths, with six new ones earlier this week.
When Dr. Beach names you a winner, you don’t get to play again, and that’s why Florida only has two beaches on his annual Top 10 list for the best beaches in the U.S.
