Arthur is slowly swirling away from Florida's coast. However, rain, wind and high surf from the storm are still present problems.
In Brevard County, wind and waves pushed algae in onto the sand on the beaches. There's also been some minor beach erosion due to the waves crashing on the shoreline.
Brevard Ocean Rescue lifeguards were once again flying red flags to warn swimmers of wind, rip currents and potentially dangerous surf conditions even as Arthur put us in the rear view.
We spoke to lifeguards and they say they've been proactive in alerting swimmers to the conditions.
It didn't stop Nick Schiro from Illinois from dropping his fishing pole in the ocean to make a catch at the end of the pier.
"The worst part I think is past us," he said.
The light rain has sent most beachgoers back inside for a time, but they returned throughout the day. For surfers it's been a steady diet of consistent waves for them to choose from.
"It's kind of an offshore wind going out that way, so there's going to be more of a rise to the waves," said surfer Joel Danford.
The less than ideal beach day didn't stop the Emms' family, visiting from England, from enjoying their vacation.
"A bad day at the beach is better than a good day at work," Nick Emms told us.
But there was some work to be done. Workers from Satellite Beach were busy cleaning up some of the mess left behind by Arthur's overnight winds.
"We've had a lot of palm fronds that have blown down we are trying to pick up, and a lot of trash cans that have blown over," said Ramden Shell of the Public Works Department, who was working at Pelican Beach Park.
Meanwhile in Volusia County, the storm may actually improve the worsening "soft-sand" problem.
The conditions have forced the county to suspend driving in some areas recently.
With improved driving conditions, it will be easier to get around along the shore, if you can find a parking spot on what is normally the busiest beach weekend of the year.
Lifeguards in both counties continue to fly red flags warn swimmers of rip currents and potentially dangerous surf conditions.
If you do head out to area beaches, check in with lifeguards for current conditions.
