REYNOLDS STREET PIER AT HIGGS BEACH IN KEY WEST WILL CLOSE NIGHTLY AT 6 P.M., PICKLEBALL AND BASKETBALL REMINDER

MONROE COUNTY – Reynolds Street Pier at Higgs Beach in Key West will be closed nightly starting at 6 p.m. until further notice to prevent large groups of people congregating to watch the sunset.

The measure is being taken to reduce coronavirus transmission threats to Florida Keys residents.

The Florida Department of Health and Centers for Diseases Control are imploring people to practice social distancing. This practice is especially important at pickleball and basketball courts at county parks.

There should always be no more than 10 people using a facility at one time.

Monroe County officials stress that if federal and state directives are not followed, courts will be closed.
