The beach on Ocean Trace Drive to Mary Street was deemed safe for people to start driving on again but signs were out warning beachgoers to remain cautious.
Tyler Jarnagin with St. Johns County Public Affairs Office said the beaches will continue to be monitored for debris and walkovers will continue to be assessed for the next couple of days.

The St. Johns County Public Affairs Office also said they received minor reports of flooding and no reports of damage.
The beach erosion renourishment project that started in August was something the county was concerned about before the storm hit.
Jarnagin said officials will be out to assess the erosion early this coming week.
According to the Florida Department of Transportations Facebook page, they had people out in Matanzas looking at those dunes, and they commented the dunes performed well.
News4Jax reached back out to Jarnagin after seeing the post by FDOT to see if this meant St. Johns County didn’t need to assess the erosion anymore.
He said even though FDOT had someone checking out dunes, the county will have a separate team checking since they are different entities.
