If the problem is crowding, then certainly address that problem. But don't lie about risks that aren't there. We've seen from beachgoing in Hong Kong (presented in the same scolding and apocalyptic tone) that this is not a behavior that is driving much spread.

On the contrary, there is strong evidence that the sunlit, well-ventilated outdoors is not a virus-friendly environment. To the point that it's been previously suggested as an anti-pandemic measure for influenza.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4504358/ …

One additional nice thing about a beach is that it's a large area that is easy to monitor for social distancing measures without being too intrusive. You just need a couple of shirtless pandemic cops riding bareback on a white horse, long hair waving in the breezepic.twitter.com/9zDUmGGepP

It's more that this photo is taken with a telephoto lens, and in reality those family groups are likely no closer than 30 feet from each other. Beaches are big folks, a hell of a lot wider than sidewalks.

Exactly. This has been a problem in a lot of press coverage on social distancing; the photos are taken at ground level with a telephoto lens in a way to try to show crowding that isn't there.

Parking is shutdown, programs have been canceled and the parks in general are much harder to access. If this was still not enough to keep people away in large enough numbers, they would definitely shut down the parks.
