Beach goers were a little scared at first. ā€œYou know, when we first saw him, it was a little bit scary and didnā€™t know exactly what was going on,ā€ said Joe Villarreal of Walton County.

Uhlfelder was protesting Walton County beaches being open, saying, ā€œThe grim reaper represents death. This is a deadly virus. Itā€™s a global pandemic.ā€

Heā€™s urging beach goers to think twice before hitting the sand.

Not everyone welcomed his remarks.

ā€œI didnā€™t want to say anything but itā€™s just very frustrating,ā€ said Walton County resident Jay Fields.

Fields thinks opening the beaches was a good idea and good for local businesses.

Uhlfelder said he loves the beaches, but thinks they should be empty for the foreseeable future.
