Can you close a beach? Totland no longer suitable for landing?

Just do what this chap did over the weekend, ignore the barrier ( there’s a small gap on the western end ) and park your motor boat in the safe area - just try not the run over too many kids and swimmers……..

I genuinely don't understand the attraction of the things. I've had a couple of goes on them when on holiday. After about 30 minutes one gets to feel, "OK, I've done that: gald I didn't buy one." A wetter and colder version of motorcycling I'd say. Actually, I much prefer bikes but I know if I buy another one, I will die. That's not a premonition as such; my wife would kill me.

Visited Totland this weekend. The swimming section seems to be in a pretty underused part of the beach.

Same problem with jetskis, ribs, and whatnot in the main area.

This scheme needs to be toughened-up or ditched altogether - my vote would be the former.

Edit: some parents attached biggish red/yellow buoys to the waists of their kids for improved visibility. Seems very sensible to me

Not a few serious swimmers on the Thames, tow a small but highly visible inflatable bouy attached to a belt. You can spot them some considerable distance away. Seems to not be an impediment regards swimming .

If they go through the MMO they can do whatever the MMO let them do. Just like anyone else
