Two beaches have been closed after four people were injured cliff jumping at the popular Durdle Door tourism spot during lockdown.
Dorset Council announced this morning Durdle Door and neighbouring Lulworth Cove were closed throughout Sunday, and roads would be blocked.
Not long after that announcement, the council announced it was having to close the road to the seaside village of West Bexington too after 'excessive numbers of visitors to the beach.'
It comes after scenes emerged yesterday of huge crowds gathered in the wake of the incident.
Local authorities closed the beaches yesterday, and this morning said neither would reopen today and all sunseekers trying to travel there would be turned back.
Dorset Council tweeted this morning: "The roads to #LulworthCove and #DurdleDoor REMAIN CLOSED today (Sunday 31 May).
"You will not be able to visit the beaches there and will be asked to turn around if you try and access the villages. We will review tomorrow, but for now please AVOID the area."
The local authority has taken action after sunbathers were herded together on the sand yesterday, so helicopters could land after four people were injured cliff-jumping, with three of them hurt seriously.
The pictures led outraged Brits to demand beachgoers at the popular tourism spot self-isolate.
The packed scenes on a baking Saturday were labelled 'insanity' by Good Morning Britain co-host Piers Morgan.
The crowds who were forced to cram together then file out of the narrow-access spot led to concerns a Covid-19 cluster will emerge among beach-goers.
It came as some warned Brits are acting like the lockdown is already over.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has come under fire for announcing the changes on Thursday, ahead of a sunny weekend.
The government recently relaxed restrictions in England, allowing people to drive wherever they want for exercise.
The move sparked concerns from authorities in coastal beautyspots such as Cornwall, who warned of large crowds.
Welsh authorities have also been fining beachgoers trying to travel over from England to access its coastlines, in a breach of Wales lockdown rules.
England's coronavirus restrictions ease again on Monday - allowing people to meet in groups of up to six as long as they practise social distancing guidelines.
But scenes emerged over the weekend of people gathering in large groups at beaches, in parks, and tourism spots across the UK.
Two separate incidents at Durdle Door yesterday led to the crowd scenes that sparked outrage.
Four people were injured - three of them seriously - jumping off the cliffs.
The beach had to be closed and evacuated shortly after for two air ambulances to land.
A video that emerged yesterday showing someone leaping from 200ft cliffs at the beach and smashing into the sea as crowds cheer them on caused some to label the jumpers 'morons'.
Purbeck Police said emergency responders were also called to attend a second, separate incident at the beach yesterday.
