People may take less risky behaviors if you allow them some sort of outlet. Some people get really antsy by being forced to be indoors all the time. So giving them an outlet like letting them go to parks and beaches seems fine to me. Social distancing requirements should still be met, but those are low risk places to do it, compared to anywhere indoors that requires people to touch doorknobs, reduced ventillation, etc.

I'm not an expert but I think the risk of seawater contact spreading the virus is really low. The sea is not generally a conducive environment for airborne pathogens, the amount of water is vast and not that much water comes in contact with multiple people.

There was a video posted on reddit a couple of weeks ago that showed a couple on a beach with no one else in the frame. They appeared to be on an isolated portion of the beach just laying on the sand. A police helicopter came through and flew directly over them to blast sand onto their face, and everyone was cheering it, how dare those maniacs sit on a beach in the middle of nowhere instead of sitting home.
