I live in a tourist area with nice beaches. I'm used to Summer visitors - part and parcel of living here. However, this year is CRAZY so far with hoards and hoards of people. I've never seen the beaches so busy and when it drizzles, they all cram into the local farm shop cafe or nice tourist spot for lunch. The car parks are full and gridlocked. We've seen some odd behaviour as well. Should I stay at home until it calms down to avoid the mayhem and keep myself safe from Covid?

Go out early in the morning perhaps, when they are all asleep?

Of course you’re not being unreasonable, you can go out (or not go out) as you please.

Feel your pain. Got screamed at to "f-ing go home" by a random local out of their car window the other day just because we went as a family to eat chips on the prom.

Irony being a) we live 4 miles away b) husband is postie to the village we were in c) I work in the village school.

Can't get more local really!

Shock appalling behaviour.

It depends if you have dependent DC. If you do then I don't think its fair to immure them at home because of your anxieties. Otherwise you do you, although given there's very very little Covid about now, very little chance of picking it up outdoors and very little chance of becoming seriously ill with it if you're an otherwise healthy under-60, it does seem a bit of a waste.
