TBH I am not sure that we can compare the two areas. Yes the beaches in the UK are definitely overly crowded in that picture, however there is a larger population there and I am sure the extended lockdowns and restrictions have been a bigger burden for people in the UK than here.
I can also totally see why people would take advantage of a nice day and hurry to the beach hoping it would not be so busy, finding it busy... but having driven quite a while to get there .... decided to just hang out for awhile.
I do think that we humans tend to judge too easily and with Covid the idea that "we are all in this together..." seems a distant memory.
I personally prefer not to get on the bandwagon of judging people based on a media picture.
I hope everyone, everywhere, manages to get to a beach sometime, chill out with family and friends (or on your own) and listen to the waves. Its good for the spirit. And about now everyone needs some of that.
