Starting Wednesday, June 24th we will be implementing guidelines for beach use. We have prepared a detailed reopening protocol involving all aspects of providing as safe an environment as we can for both staff, members, and guests. This includes limiting the maximum number of guests who can use the beach at one time to 150 people and establishing TWO sessions for the use of the beach, Morning and Afternoon.
The TWO beach sessions access times are to maximize beach enjoyment for all and will be on a first come, first serve basis.
BEACH SESSIONS:
Morning Session – 9 AM to 1 PM
*Staff Beach Sweep & Cleaning time – 1 PM to 2 PM
Afternoon Session 2 PM to 6 PM
No mask, no entry! You must bring and wear a face mask for entry only with the gate host, it will not be required on the beach. You must also have your Member/Renter ID card to receive a wristband and sign a COVID-19 liability waiver. If you have already signed this waiver at any of our amenities you do not need to sign it again. Please email info@dollarpoint.org if you wish to sign this waiver electronically. Renters with a valid ID card must go to the DPA pool office to get wristbands by paying the $10 entry fee for every person over 5. You will be screened before you can enter the pool. Any person showing COVID-19 like symptoms will not be admitted.
The beach gate hosts will be keeping track of beach goers entering and exiting. If you have a kayak/SUP entering the beach rack spot, you will get a wristband and be encouraged to use the beach portion in front of your storage rack area. Boaters will not be counted as a beach user when checking in. When boaters return and want to use the beach, they will be directed by beach staff to the gate host to be counted as a beach user and get a wristband if we haven’t reached our beach use capacity.
If the beach count reaches the maximum of 150 people, the gate hosts will stop admitting people. If this occurs during the Morning Session access time, the gate host will suggest returning for the Afternoon Session from 2 PM to 6 PM. Then at 1 PM, DPA Staff will ask beach goers to exit the beach for the Staff Beach Sweep & Cleaning time from 1 PM to 2 PM.
Beach Use Guidelines:
– Physical distancing MUST be adhered to and will be monitored by DPA Staff.
– No beach chairs or umbrellas will be provided.
– No volleyball or beach games will be allowed so we can safely maximize the beach space we have.
– You MUST maintain at least 6’ distance from other groups.
– No groups larger than 8 people.
– Bathrooms WILL be open and cleaned every hour and during the 1 PM – 2 PM clearing of the beach
– No use of large pop-ups and tents.
– The 5 picnic tables are first come, first serve.
Please understand that the initial protocols and capacity limitations we are setting for use of the beach are a starting point. We fully anticipate that things may change as we get further governmental and public health guidance for our area.
We greatly appreciate everyone’s patience, understanding and adherence to these State and County guidelines.
