I have to say that that photo that's being circulated of all those people in Clearwater is not what is uniform across the state, despite spring break or not. That beach is pretty much always crowded. It's like THE beach in Clearwater. However, you can go 7 miles down the road to Indian Rocks and find barely anyone there. On the flipside, you could go to Canaveral National Seashore on the East Coast on most days and have virtually the entire place to yourself. Now, Miami / Ft. Lauderdale is a different story, but I am not surprised they're not closing absolutely all the beaches (at least as of this writing). Our entire state, after all, has beaches bordering it
