Photos taken over the weekend show crowds on California's Newport and Huntington Beaches.
This is amid a heatwave and a statewide stay-at-home order, reports Business Insider.
Officials have said that those going to the beach are still putting distance amongst themselves.
However, residents in Southern California said the crowds were sizable this past weekend.
Gov. Newsom says people dismissing the order restrictions could delay reopening plans for the state.
A common thought amongst those leaving their houses is that they will stay away from sick people.
This does not account for asymptomatic people, those without signs of coronavirus who still spread it.
