Baldwin County beaches were closed to swimming. Double red flags were posted Thursday morning and are expected to fly though the weekend. With the waters closed to swimming, not everyone was pleased. When people visit the beach, they want to swim, but one look at the crashing waves was enough to keep most people out of the water.
