Beaches quiet as restriction lifted
THE first day of the fivemile travel restriction ending saw small groups gather at popular outdoor areas – but beaches remained mostly quiet.
While some were keen to get out and explore, most areas remained relatively calm on day one of the latest lifting of restrictions.
Monday marked an end to the “stay local” rule. It also meant many families could be reunited for the first time in months, as people from two separate households were able to join together to form one extended household.
While some small groups gathered in the likes of Cardiff Bay and Porthcawl town centre, there was no repeat of some of the alarming scenes witnessed at beaches in England just over a week ago.
Despite restrictions being eased, people must still maintain social distancing and respect the places and communities they visit.
