6 Florida Beaches That Will Be Open On The 4th Of July For Some Sandy Relaxation

Fun in the sun and sea!
Contributor

Fourth of July celebrations have had to contend with many restrictions and cancelations across the country this year. Several Florida beaches have even been closed for the holiday to promote social distancing. However, there are still plenty of shorelines to enjoy this weekend, and some of The Sunshine State’s favorite beaches will still be open. If you’re looking for some sand to dig your toes into this holiday, check out these open Florida beaches this Fourth of July weekend.

While the national holiday may look at little different in 2020 with firework shows being canceled and some beaches closing to the public, there’s still plenty of reason to celebrate.

What better a place to social distance than in the sun and salty air on a stretch of shimmering beachfront? Just make sure you keep a couple of towel-lengths between you and your neighbors. Keep your favorite sands pristine and clean, and leave nothing but footprints!

From the Atlantic coast to the Gulf shores, these gorgeous Florida beaches are always worth the trip. So dig your toes in, lather up that sunscreen, and enjoy your Fourth of July under the Florida sun.
