ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – St. Johns County officials assessed some of the damage left behind from the storms that rolled across Florida.
Some areas that were closed to the public to keep residents safe have since been reopened such as pedestrian access to the pier and beach driving.
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 as sand conditions were still sketchy.
There are still sections of the beach that are closed to driving as the beach will be monitored for debris and walkovers will continue to be assessed for the next couple of days.

The St. Johns County Public Affairs Office said they received minor reports of flooding and no reports of damage.
The beach erosion renourishment project that started in August was something that residents were concerned about before the storm hit.
Williams said officials will be out to assess the erosion as well.
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.
The county said even though FDOT had someone checking out the dunes they will have a separate person checking as well.
