More crowds expected at Central Florida beaches this Labor Day

Beach crowds expected on Labor Day

Crowds have flooded into Central Florida beaches during the holiday weekend so far.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - More crowds are expected at the beaches in Volusia County on Monday.

On Saturday, crowds hit the sand. Officials said that 20 people were rescued and one was transported to the hospital. Beach and off-beach parking were also at capacity most of the day.

On the next day, the crowds stayed high as the 2020 Truck Meet, which is traditionally held in June, was rescheduled for Labor Day weekend in Daytona Beach because of the pandemic. Sunday was the last day of the event.
