ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. — Driving on St. Johns County beaches will be restricted beginning Saturday evening due to potential impacts from Hurricane Isaias.
Due to potential extreme high tides and unpredictable ocean conditions related to Hurricane Isaias impacts on the First Coast, St. Johns County has decided to suspend on-beach driving beginning at 5 p.m. Saturday. Beach driving access will be reinstated when conditions allow.
Pedestrian access to the beach will remain available at off-beach parks and beach walkovers, the county said.
Dangerous surf conditions and rip current activity are expected as Hurricane Isaias impacts the coast. Visitors to the beach are encouraged to avoid swimming in the ocean until conditions improve.
