SANTA ANA (CNS)—Newport Beach received permission from Gov. Gavin Newsom on May 6 to reopen its seven miles of oceanfront for active use only, and county officials were preparing a similar plan to submit for approval.

With Newport Beach’s shoreline reopened, the county’s 16 percent of oceanfront is the last to reopen. The Orange County Board of Supervisors on May 5 voted 3-2, after a fiery debate, to direct staff to submit a plan for the reopening of its beaches.
