DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The word freedom was written in sand on Friday, a day after county leaders shut down the 47 miles of coastline, by blocking beach access ramps and parking lots.
Mike Boyce does not approve of the beaches closing. “You’re taking away our freedom by city, by state, one beach at a time,” Boyce said.
He's the man behind the message scribbled in the sand. “I think them closing the beach is only going to make people go to other places where they could possibly group together even more.
The beach was that one outlet where people were able to go and that social distance was able to still stay in tact,” Boyce said.
