## Resource

Beach canopies are under fire in Southern California as cities like Laguna, Newport, and Huntington Beach slash size limits to protect lifeguard sightlines, while Seal Beach bans tents outright. With heat driving crowds to the shore, officials prioritize safety over shade — even designating canopy zones or allowing umbrellas only. Visitors may face inconvenience, but the trade-off is clear: keeping swimmers safe. Meanwhile, Long Beach, Redondo, and Malibu still permit shade structures — but remind you to keep gear clear of lifeguard views. Before you pack your umbrella, check local rules — your beach day depends on it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
