Would you want to be on Bournemouth beach today?
If so, would you take your litter home with you?
And is this a sign that a second peak is unavoidable?

Nope. I was working today and me and son finished early. My parents came round and we spent the afternoon in the garden.
Why can't people take their litter with them? So selfish and inconsiderate. Whenever we go anywhere and have a picnic we always carry a bag for rubbish and either place it in a litter bin or take it home if the bin is too full. And separate recyclables.

>>> Is it a public holiday in England today ? If not, here do all these people come from ?
All further and higher education establishments (i.e. for post-16 and post-18 education) are currently closed, except for some limted face-to-face contact time for some 16-17yo students who are undergoing further education within a school environment. (I note that many of the people who're shown in photos of crowded beaches appear to be around 'student age').
All secondary schools are closed except for those students who're mentioned above and for 14-15yo students (who might only be going in on certain days of the week).
All primary schools are closed except for some 5-6yo and 11-12yo pupils, who might only be going into school on some days of the week.
There are also areas where local councils have advised ALL schools (both primary and secondary) to ignore the national partial lifting of lockdown restrictions and to remain totally closed anyway.
As at June 14, there were 9.1 million workers 'furloughed' from their jobs, with the government paying 80% of their wages. THe re-opening of shops, etc, will have reduced that number but there are plenty of others, such as those who work in the hospitality industry, who still can't return to work.
There are also lots of self-employed people (such as hairdressers) who can't yet re-open their businesses.
So there are LOTS of people in the UK who, having been bored stiff sitting at home for the past three months, are now tempted to take advantage of the sunshine and head for the coast.

I’ve a lot of sympathy fir Hopkirk’s post.
On the other hand. That wouldn’t be my idea of a day out.
On the other hand again, maybe people will remember later how welcoming Bournemouth was and take their custom elsewhere.
I’m still tripping over signs on farm fences virtually accusing walkers of spreading death to the countryside!

They're doing nothing wrong.
I understand there hasn't been a spike following the recent riots where social distancing was ignored, so why would people on a beach create a spike?
We need to get back to normality and live with the virus - it ain't going away any time soon - so why shouldn't people enjoy a day out at the beach on the hottest day of the year?

//The B3369 in Sandbanks is gridlocked :-( //
The B3369 in Sandbanks is always blocked. It’s the queue for the chainferry.
//Is it a public holiday in England today ? If not, here do all these people come from ?//
They come from home. As ‘Chico said, they are currently on “furlough”. The government is currently paying the wages of around 10m people. They can’t go to work because they can’t keep far enough apart. So they go to the beach where they er…. can’t keep far enough apart! More madness.
As dd says, the country needs to regain its senses and return to normal. Not a “new normal”, but normal normal. The original aim of the lockdown (to prevent the NHS being overwhelmed) was achieved about six weeks ago. The aim now seems to be to prevent the spread of the virus. That ain’t gonna happen and the government’s increasingly bizarre “guidance” will slowly but very surely be quietly ignored and eventually ditched.

Then don't eleanor2 - your choice.
But why shouldn't the more mentally robust not enjoy the current weather and enjoy the beach and go for a swim?
If I was close enough to the coast and not working from my office (for office read box room) I'd've been there like a shot.
As soon as the air bridges are confirmed, I will be on a plane to Spain so quick that Easyjet won't be able to keep up.
Perspective people - perspective.
You probably won't get it; if you're unfortunate to get it, you probably won't die.
