But it was a gated, private beach, and that's different

But we have a different class of people here; they don’t get common folk diseases

California Congressman Harley Rouda, Democrat who denounced opening beaches as “reckless” caught on private beach. My guess is that if Congress ever reopens (don’t rush on my account) he’ll fly back on a private jet.

Mr. Rouda apparently lives in Emerald Bay - The website California Beaches, calls Emerald Bay Beach "one of the nicest beaches in Laguna Beach."

Emerald Bay Beach is a private beach that is only open to residents of the gated community of Emerald Bay in North Laguna Beach. The homes on both sides of Pacific Coast Highway have access to this half-mile-wide sandy beach. There is a park centrally located in the cove with grass areas, a tennis court, a wide flat sandy area with volleyball courts, and picnic tables and fire pits. If you get an invitation to visit Emerald Bay Beach from a resident, consider yourself lucky. This is one of the nicest beaches in Laguna Beach, California.

Current real estate listings at the "premier gated community" range between $4 million and $12 million, and are said to feature "some of the most exclusive real estate in all of Southern California."
