A couple have been spotted appearing to have sex on Brighton beach in broad daylight, despite the coronavirus lockdown.
The pair were photographed failing to maintain social distancing days after another couple were fined for having a barbecue on the same beach.
The picture, taken at 7.50am on Thursday morning, captures the pair on the seafront near the Brighton Centre in an apparent moment of lockdown lust.
Brighton and Hove City Council said: "It's an unfortunate picture and we would think the people involved will be highly embarrassed if their friends and families are able to recognise them.
"It certainly serves as a reminder to us all that you never know when someone is watching you."
One person can be seen on top of their partner with their trousers down, exposing their bum to stunned beachgoers using the area for exercise.
Becki Chester 39, and Craig Buckland, 40, took the snap after spotting the frisky pair.
Becki said: "We were minding our own business, keeping our distance when we spotted a couple making full use of their exercise hour.
"We hope they washed their hands afterwards."
Government guidance states people are allowed to exercise once a day using open spaces near to their homes where possible.
However people can be arrested for outraging public decency for performing sex acts in public.
Sussex Police said they had not received any reports on the incident.
