Coney Island Reopens Famous Boardwalk with Restrictions for Memorial Day Weekend

Coney Island’s famous beach and boardwalk will be open for Memorial Day Weekend, but there’s a long list of rules, including a ban on swimming, and sports like Frisbee will not be allowed. Scenes of empty airports at LAX were telling of the pandemic’s impact on holiday travel; last year, 43 million Americans took trips for Memorial Day Weekend. This being the first weekend many will venture out after 2 months at home, health officials are nervous of increased COVID-19 transmission. Stay safe!
