San Clemente beaches closing earlier

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. - Beaches in San Clemente are closing two hours earlier effective immediately. 

City Council voted to close beaches at 10 p.m. instead of midnight. 

It won't be enforced until new signs are posted later this month. 

The change comes in response to an incident last month when a group of teens attacked three Marines on the beach. Officials said they're also worried about other public safety concerns like an increase in homelessness and sand erosion.
