Some beaches on Spain's Costa del Sol are set to reopen for the first time in six weeks - but only for parents with children.
Marbella and Mijas are among municipalities who have said parents and children can enjoy walks on the sand.
Police tape had already been removed in areas like the popular getaway of Cala de Mijas on Saturday.
In other popular areas like Benidorm, the situation was still unclear with local police advising callers: “If the police tape has been removed tomorrow/on Sunday you can use the beach but if not you can’t.”

Local authorities have pointed out that in any case the only people allowed onto the beach will be children under 15 with one of their parents or guardians who live no further than one kilometre away.
Spain has the world's third highest death toll (22,902) behind the US (53,745) and Italy (26,384), as of Saturday evening.
It has almost 224,000 confirmed cases, the second most behind only the US (almost 953,000).
The partial lockdown de-escalation is part of Spain’s relaxation of the rules on kids’ outings.
Swimming in the sea remains off-limits and all outings, including trips to the beach for people who live near the coastline, will be limited to one a day and a maximum of an hour between 9am and 9pm.
Spain’s strict coronavirus lockdown has meant that most children have spent the last six weeks cooped up indoors unless they were lucky enough to live in a house with a garden.
Marbella town hall officials said beaches were being opened to children with a parent so they could use all available open spaces and ensure social distancing.
Parks and children’s play areas in the resort will remain off limits.
The northern city of Gijon has also announced it will reopen its beaches to children out with their mum or dad as well as its parks, although children’s play areas will remain off limits.
Marbella mayor Angeles Munoz said in a Twitter video directed at the area's kids: “From this Sunday you are going to be able to leave home with an adult and under certain conditions to stroll, enjoy fresh air and play with your toys.
“Thanks for behaving so well over these weeks. You have done it very well.”
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said in an address to the nation on Saturday that people will be allowed out to exercise from May 2 if the number of new coronavirus cases continues to fall.
Sanchez said people would be allowed outside for sport or to go for a walk with a person with whom they live if the evolution of the pandemic "remains favourable".
Spaniards have been living under one of Europe's strictest lockdowns since March 14.
They are allowed out for food, medicine and essential work but not to exercise.
