The Yorkshire Coast features in a series of videos which North Yorkshire County Council have released as part of their unlock summer campaign.
The messages encourage people to carry on sticking to the rules to unlock the benefits of each next step in the Government's road map.
The interviews with members of the public feature seaside backdrops and talk about the benefits of getting back outdoors.

Louise Wallace, North Yorkshire’s Director of Public Health said :
“The campaign is a friendly reminder to us all about what we need to do to build on the freedoms we have unlocked so far, so that we can enjoy the summer as normally as possible,”
The interviews with members of the public also talk about how nice it is to be able to visit the coast again.

Local Businesses are backing the Unlock Summer campaign.
Karen Mortimer is co-owner of Sandside Café in Sandsend, which has welcomed customers outdoors since the previous easing of restrictions on 12 April.
She said:
“People have been ready to come out, they want to come out, they are ready to socialise. They want to chat to us and we are keen to see them.
“We are looking forward to giving particularly some of our older customers the opportunity to come indoors. I think when people can be indoors more will want to come.
“We would ask customers to be patient, to follow the guidelines and to understand that our staff are only doing what is best for customers and for the business.”
Staff at North Yorkshire Water Park, on the A170 near Wykeham, are enjoying seeing visitors once again taking part in the many activities it offers, including swimming, kayaking, cycling and walking.
General manager Gareth Davies said:
“Welcoming people back is one of the best things. You can see the joy on their faces. They are over the moon to do something and that gives us a buzz.“You hear the laughter, the screams of enjoyment when they are jumping into the water. We are seeing again familiar faces that have been using the lake for many years. It’s good to catch up. You are building those relationships again and it’s brilliant.”
"It's really difficult being at home & staring at the same four walls. It's nice to come down to the beach & just have a bit of fun."

"The biggest thing is getting out here, getting the fresh air, walking the beach. The whole relaxing atmosphere. That's what we've really missed."
