Police have warned that lockdown breaches will be enforced as large groups congregate at Swansea beauty spots.
South Wales Police has urged members of the public to "take responsibility" and "embrace the shift back towards normality cautiously" as large groups of youths have been taking advantage of an easing in lockdown rules.
Officers have attended several beauty spots throughout the city, including Langland Bay, Swansea beach and Bracelet Bay car park, during the warmer weather this week.
This comes after the force announced that dispersal orders will now be used at Swansea beach following reports of anti-social behaviour in the area.
The section 35 dispersal orders give police officers the power to ban a person - including young people over the age of 10 - from an area for a period of up to 48 hours by issuing a written notice.
On Monday night officers were called to the car park at Bracelet Bay, in Mumbles, after being made aware of a "large number of people congregating".
A spokeswoman for South Wales Police said: "We were made aware of a large number of people congregating in cars at Bracelet Bay car park on Monday at about 8.10pm.
"Officers attended and the group was dispersed."
An eyewitness, who did not want to be named, claimed that the situation in the car park was similar on Tuesday evening.
Officers issued four section 35 dispersal orders to young people on Swansea beach on Tuesday night, following reports of large groups of youths in the area.

Neighbourhood policing sergeant Nerys Lewis said: "Many of the reports we are receiving involve young people and I would urge parents to take notice of this.
"If we return your young person home to you or call and speak to you it is because they are putting themselves and others at risk or causing a nuisance to local residents.
"I would ask that they really do think about where their young people are and how their behaviour can affect others and help us address the issues.
"Our communities deserve to enjoy the places they live and not feel worried about going out or being a victim of anti-social behaviour.
"Anyone enjoying these areas and not causing any issues and adhering to the current Covid-19 legislation can of course continue to do so."
Officers were also carrying out patrols at Langland Bay on Tuesday evening in response to concerns from the community about anti-social behaviour.
Just last week police were called to a reported assault on the beach and found "around 100 youths congregating in the area".
South Wales Police is reminding the public that officers "will enforce" when there are "blatant breaches of the regulations".
A spokeswoman for the force said: "Our communities are reminded that the threat of coronavirus has not disappeared, and some restrictions – imposed for the benefit of us all – remain in place.
"We will continue to uphold the law, engaging, explaining and encouraging voluntary compliance within our communities.
"However, we will enforce as a last resort where we see blatant breaches of the regulations.
"We would ask people to please continue to take personal responsibility and embrace the shift back towards normality cautiously."
