Health officials issue warnings after some revellers did not follow precautions while marking the beginning of summer. A lot of people flocked to beaches, but not a lot of social distancing or masks while six people were wounded Saturday in a Daytona Beach shooting as massive crowds gathered during Memorial Day weekend.

Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, and for many, that means heading to the beach. This year, however, under the stay-at-home orders, the occasion will be celebrated a lot different. Yet, some beaches up and down the East Coast, including Jersey Shore, are still opening up to tourists for the holiday weekend under certain restrictions. 

As one of the most important holidays for US citizens, Memorial Day is held on the final Monday of the month each and every year.
