Only for locals.
For everybody who drives to the beach (the vast majority of beachgoers), empirical evidence from California beaches suggests that the answers to all those questions is "yes".
If you want to open the beaches only to those who can walk or bike to them, sure that's probably okay. Now, how do you enforce that?
So, we're back to simply closing the beaches completely because it keeps the idiots at bay and is easy to enforce.
